This is the attitude of someone who uses hand tools when power tools are available. Yes you loose the personal touch but also loose the potential efficiency. Still need to measure twice and cut once though.
AI is like delegating to a junior programmer that never learns or gets better.
Maybe a better analogy might be a car with an automatic transmission, although that doesn’t capture the pitfalls of AI very well. It could be argued that a good automatic transmission has none of the serious downsides that AI has.
Still, the general idea is sometimes getting stuff faster with less effort more automatically is more important than the “reward” of doing it yourself.
I use a GPS all the time, but only because it also shows me traffic, red light cameras, and potential hazards. I memorized the route after the first 2-3 drives but I keep using the gps for the amenities.
That said, I’m old enough to have used printed map directions and my time in Boy Scouts gave me the skills to read a paper map too.
