Why can’t people just acknowledge AI is good at some things and bad at others. Why does every post say AI is either groundbreaking or terrible. Get a grip people. It’s a tool.
We've created a communications system bottlenecked by virality and short form text and video in which all nuance and context is stripped from everything.
This, far far more than anything AI is doing, is what's making us dumber.
AI is more of a double edged sword I think. Depends a lot on how people use it. I think it's actually more likely to have positive effects on cognition than social media and especially scrollers like TikTok. Don't get me started on gambling.
