The meme is "giving a chatbot to an email user is like giving pedals to a paraplegic"
Why are email users comparable to paraplegics. What are they unable to do that everyone else can?
This feels like clarifying with mud.
you're misunderstanding the analogy. this is a fundamental problem with analogies.
I understand that adding an chatbot to an product don't make it more practical, when you find even a Toaster with AI. Also an design made with ChatGPT insteatof research can also result in an absurd crap, halucinating not only in chats.
'fundamental' would mean it applies to good analogies, not just wrong ones
it does. an analogy is not 1:1 and if it was it wouldn't be an analogy, it would just be the thing.
That's getting a bit too vague for me.
How is giving people a chatbot like giving paraplegics pedals? Nobody has explained it yet.
