I’ve been working with so many students who turn to it as a first resort for everything. The second a problem stumps them, it’s AI. The first source for research is AI.

It’s not even about the tech, there’s just something about not wanting to learn that deeply upsets me. It’s not really something I can understand. There is no reason to avoid getting better at writing.

Yup. I'll take the bet.

After all, your expectation of the impact of AI is arguably the better outcome for humanity, isn't it? I'm expecting a sharp increase in horrific industrial accidents and the slow but steady regression of human intellect until we're all mindless drones from sector 7-C. =P

That's a good bet to lose.

Besides, actually paying out on oddball, five year old bets is the kind of thing that made the pre-social media, pre-AI internet great, and I miss that.

    Oof. So little faith in your fellow man.

    Guilty as charged. I often wonder what effect dealing with quality control and safety has on my mentality. Much like first responders see a lot of people at their worst, I see a lot of them at their dumbest and laziest.

    I think we're still at a net gain over where we were in 1906, but that's subjective. Most of us live longer and more comfortable lives, but that could change if we're not careful, and I don't think we're being particularly careful in this decade. I'm a bit pessimistic, but I don't see it as a bad thing. Back on aviation, the old saying is that it takes an optimist to invent the airplane, and it takes a pessimist to invent the parachute.

    I'd rather keep meteors out of it. Some of the planet is quite pretty and whatever species takes over for us might appreciate the view.
