The hilarious part about this is that nobody seems to love using these things more than the C suite. Let's see how dumb they can get before their brains can't even handle their bodily functions.

They can also make you smarter if you use them right. Key is to use local models and not giving the techbros any money.
Keep telling yourself that
Sure! How much experience do you have with LLMs?

You can’t fix stupid. AI is super charging my life in so many ways.
But what have you specifically learned from it to now be able to do if you no longer had it? That's the question...
Again an article that draws the wrong conclusions.
No, it does not make people stupider. It makes people lazier. Just. Like. All. Tech.
How many of us do research in libraries rather than on the internet these days? Back when internet became popular there were similar criticisms to what we have today on AI.
Essays are AI generated, show poor critical thinking, and you can tell? Great, grade it like what it is. A piss poor work. Just like someone who would copy a wikipedia article 15 years ago would be graded like shit, perhaps even considered cheating and given a 0 (or F or whatever is the worst grade in your system)
If you can't tell, then the tool was properly used. If you can't tell the difference between an AI generated essay and a human-made essay, then perhaps essays are no longer good tests of someone's abilities.
Rather than pushing back against a tech that is probably never going away, even when the bubble pops, how about we start thinking productively and adapt how we learn, evaluate, and work instead?

It’s speed. Grunt work & time gets in the way of seeing out ideas and making them realities. You can test ideas significantly faster and get to answers much quicker so you’re moving mountains instead of pebbles.
If I’m working on something that is properly documented, it’s a waste of time to ask a human or search for something when a machine can find it in seconds so I can continue my work instead of spinning in circles for a hour.
Why am I as a single dad having to spend an entire night working on a meal plan for the week when I can have AI take my parameters, point it to my sources and drop me the plan every Sunday at 5pm without paying a service to do it?
Why should I look through articles and articles of local events when I can have my local AI ingest everything and bubble up what’s important?
I can’t trust news that pops up on Reddit by bots or government controlled media outlets. But I also don’t sit around on my ass all day to spend hours on news. Why not have my local models point at places like AP and Reuters and pull down all the articles in the day and summarize it for me for a 15 min read?
The internet has been enshitified, if I want to learn about something and research whatever, I have to dig through layers of sponsored content, click bait, and straight up lies. Why not build a RAG pointed at places I can trust and ingest data dumps from highly respected scientific and medical studies so I can get -real- answers?
I’m a high output army of 1 with responsibilities taller than me. My greatest enemy is time and I’m regularly trying to shove 35 hours into a 24 hour day.
AI has been a gift.
But you need to do it local and design your own stuff.
