People are calling this “cognitive surrender”.
It's funny to laugh about right now, but it's genuinely worrying.
In addition to all the expected work uses, people are also using it for their emails, help with flirting over DMs, writing their vows, winning arguments, etc.
Yeah, the social support you would need in your life for getting help with those things made getting that help much more complex. Asking a close friend or companion for help in those ways meant a relationship was there. It added value to the relationships that provided this cognitive labor.
I really fear AI will lead to more social isolation, and negative externalities as a result. We already see this happening in the pre-AI always connected world. This will just accelerate it.
Is it possible to use grok enough to harm twitters bottom line?
Good phrase. Lines up with people using it almost like a slot machine when they get the wrong answer instead of thinking it out.
Problem is, that term implies these people had cognitive abilities in the first place.
