We all knew this was going to be the case. You look at the people around you feeding their entire lives to it, surrendering their will to it completely, you knew it was going to fry their brains extra fast.
But if I want something very specific out of it and don't tell it my life story it's going to be beneficial for me.
The idiots use it like google, have angry letters written by it citing things that don't exist etc.
I am under no illusion that this is more than autocomplete, a summarizer a coder debugger etc.
