Just like me! I like AI because of how smart I am.

I'm suddenly missing the slashdot mod system. +5 funny.

You went so deep there champ

The smartest people *usually* have little idea how *us* mortals can abuse the GenAI tools, because they are aware of their limitations, but we aint.

There is more to life than productivity.

Productivity is relative to whatever we value. That could be building things, making art, making scientific discoveries, or delivering food to people in poverty.

Maybe you value non-tangible, non-durable things like experiences. That's great, but it would be weird to tell someone who's devoted their life to X "there's more to life than X." (Replace X with any of the fields mentioned above.)

And experiences absolutely benefit from productivity improvements. AI has helped me plan better trips, find places and activities I had no idea about, better prepare for weather in remote destinations.

It’s said that “productivity” is mistakenly connoted as scoped to work.

Destroying all of society in the pursuit of "productivity" would be a negative thing in my opinion.

Which is why we delegate it!
