- every night a good number of neuron connections in your brain are automatically severed because you did not use that ability
- over long periods of time, it ll take you to a point where you wont be able to write a simple factorial program on your own without gpt telling you
- i am not saying this to incite you or mock you or anything. i am just concerned about how much of your thinking you are offloading
If you think that having slaves means you don’t need to be a good administrator, then you are sorely mistaken.
It requires more brainpower than it ever did to manage a project the size what used to do a 100 people team. All on your own.
The fact that I am arguing with all of you here and not blindingly follow the narrative should tell you all you need to know about my critical thinking prowess.
Review does not require more critical thinking than designing or building.
Guys you cannot win this argument. We will soon be in a new era. It’s like the old math heads complaining about calculators.
Does anyone complain about calculators making us dumb nowadays?
You can of course avoid this tech like a plague and miss out and that’s fine. No one cares
It's a fact that people who rely on calculators for everything lose their skills at mental math
What do you think will happen when people rely on computers for everything?
Your new era is going to be full of idiots
And I wouldn't care about that except you all seem to be insisting on dragging everyone down with you
- i dont use calculators anymore
- it was impossibly hard at first
- but my mind is adjusting to it slowly
- i can add and subtract 7 digit numbers effortlessly now
- i am still working on multiplication and division though but we ll get there slowly
- let me give you an example live
2949745 - 2947648
- my thought process to do this goes like this
- 1st 3 digits are same ignore
9745 - 7648
- 2nd step is to round off 9700 - 7700 = 2000, add 45 to it and it makes 2045 , we are still 52 short, add 50 to it and make it 2095, now add 2 and it becomes 2097
- see? no calculator needed
- i can do this faster than you can type the numbers above inside your beloved calculator
No it's not.
People are increasingly getting fed up with slops like this -- you can see comments in HN discussions.
Many people just completely skip those articles.
Why claim 'people' (plenty of people get value from satisficing) and even try to use 'see comments in HN discussions' as if there is something that actually documents that ie 'we all think it'.
I skimmed it and even skimming it I got value from (what some others here) call 'slop'. (The value was basically it gave me an idea of something I could implement and again I didn't have to study it or even understand everything (or agree) just seeing someone did that made me think about something I might want to do.
There’s people at work whose messages get completely ignored after too many times of posting verbose, useless, ai slop.
It’s extremely rare that someone smart with something smart to say produces this crap.
Like someone said upthread if the author isn’t willing to spend time writing cogently then I don’t think it’s worth my time to try to parse it.
