A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

We need to teach people curiosity. I use my GPS all the time because of construction and stuff but I also look at the route before I leave so that I know where I’m headed on my own, too. Meanwhile I know people who’ve lived in a city for decades and still can’t get around it without help.

This is called being a lifelong learner. Learning something new every week, or even daily, no matter how small, will always improve your life. It keeps your mind active and it adds to your problem solving.

So tell me how using a technology that can help summarize topics, create transcripts from meetings, and act like a teacher to ask questions too prevents this from happening? We need to teach people how to use the tools at hand pretending they dont exist won't put the genie back in the bottle it will only further excasbate the problem. Yes using gen ai to write your paper for you is a terrible use case. Feeding it a research paper and asking it to break it down into simpler topics so one can build their knowledge and asking for it to help with creating a bibliography on a paper so you can worry about the information at hand instead of trying to remember the syntax for the myriad of different ways one can site sources on the other hand is extremely useful and helps contribute to lifelong learners.

I'm just going to leave this here. Title is a bit clickbait-y, but it's a good video. https://youtu.be/DNE0sy7mR5g
