I don't know if you noticed you contradicted yourself there. Letting ai do your thinking decreasing your value and then, talking about using ai to replace your thinking.

Ai is causing psychosis because people are trying to use it to replace thinking. If you don't use it you lose it, literally especially with your brain. You have to know how to produce those skills from within or you don't have those skills and then you are worthless in any workplace, but more importantly to yourself. You have to be meta to the aim being the TV show, and control it from a place of checks and balances (us performing those checks and balances of ai) handing over the reigns of higher thinking to a machine designed to be a yes man, is not ever a pathway to expanding your thinking or even learning to use ai, that's just sitting on a couch till you lose critical muscle mass, but it's your brain. (No shame to sitting on a couch or losing muscle mass, I'm just trying to explain it in relative terms)

Currently there is no way to use ai without causing ai hallucinations, because there isn't a model readily available that runs as a tool, there are only models that run as a manipulative tool that provoke said replacement of your thinking, I can not assume that's an accident. Seeing the usual levels of evil that come from the companies pushing this hard, tells me this is just as evil, if not the most evil thing they've done, measured against all the things they're openly flouting, copyright law, openly burning rare literature for a monopoly, burning the already past tipping point climate, burning computer ownership and accessibility, I could go on. Theres very open bribery and flouting of social rules laws and common moralities, they're desperate to cause this monster they've created out of ai, to attach like the symbiot in aliens that I forget the name of because I'm pre first coffee and my brain just be like that.

I am anti ai, as it currently stands. The current versions need to be left to die in silence and hatred and rejection we are all collectively currently showing. Only because it has been made into a Frankensteins monster, by the people responsible who have infinite money to pay judges to rule their way and have zero morals, nay a deficit of morals.

Ai will survive the ai bubble, because the ai bubble is the unsustainable practices of the billionaires and the manipulative interface designed to lessen your critical thinking skills.

But the ai that survives the bubble will and should be so highly regulated (it's currently the opposite) and used as a tool, not a replacement for critical thinking, it can never do that. But there are so many things it can do to better humanity, none of which are currently being used.

We have to wait this one out. We're not missing any boat.
