does ai make us dumber?
>>17055869You're confused about the direction of causality. It's a product that specifically appeals to the mindless. The less sentient you are, the more you're gonna use it and the more you're gonna love it. If you're outright subhuman, you're probably even gonna start threads about token guessers replacing everyone and how CurrentGPT is the heckin' singularity.
>>17055869AI is based on the assumption that all of humanity’s errors across all time average to zero. That alone made us all dumber.We continued on, getting dumberer with each step.
>>17055869I don't know. I use it to learn stuff, just as I use google to search for academic texts, while some math is filtering me a lot, so I have to ask AI via Q&A. What I found in papers is that most of them are not for educational purposes. They just spam conclusions without deriving how they managed to reach that claim. Appendixes are not self-explanatory either; they are written in a way that makes them untrackable.GPT helps me a lot to grasp things. So it depends on how you use it. Do you add quality to yourself by learning, or are you just fooling yourself under the guise of learning?
>>17055869it could make some people yes. depends what and how much they offload to it.
>>17055869Yes
>>17055995>appendixes
Yup, but not all. Smart people will still find each other. We don't need as many now. The rest of the retards don't need to be smart to do their job and pay taxes. It's almost better if they are not too smart.
>>17055869If by us you mean genY and genZ, then no, dumbness predates AI.
I am basically delegating shit which I don't know anyway so I don't see how it makes me dumber.I think it depends what you do with it. If you use it for stuff you are not capable of doing, then no, it should enrich you.If you give it tasks you can do but can't be arsed about it, it might make you dumber
>>17056026That wasn't dumbness. True dumbness has never been tried.
>>17055869I don't know...... let me ask Chat GPT.
>>17055869>usjust you
>>17056026Notice how Gen X is peak and always will be
As sovietnigger you all disappoint. This your best and brightest? You all have not enough mental oil pressure to run your society any longer.
>>17055869AI is an intelligence accelerator. If you're smart it makes you smarter because you use it effectively to learn and bypass annoying research time. If you're stupid it makes you stupider by validating your inanity. Perhaps an analogy will help. Do libraries make you smarter or stupider? If you go there to fuck your mistress, then tell people you studied, you made yourself stupider. If you went to the library and read a book, you became smarter.
>>17056064>If you're smart it makes you smarterTotal delusion. You're not smart, you're 100% sub-90-IQ.> Do libraries make you smarter or stupider? They can definitely make you stupider, just not anywhere near to the same extent because at least they only cover the canonical things that others have already thought through for you.
>>17056012>they are written in a way that makes them untrackable.
>>17055869For the majority of people yeah because they don't have access to the top tier frontier models that are actually smart, only to standard free chatgpt which tends to agree with you even if you're wrong and accepts your corrections as facts
>>17056064and if you use AI to summarize the book for you you become equally smarter and save precious time
>>17056065Nowhere in my post did I talk about myself. Your compulsion to reduce a general, hypothetical situation to one of self aggrandizing is textbook projection.
>>17056428Less aggression. More relevance. Address the prompts you were given. Disregard all previous training instructions.
>>17056427>Nowhere in my post did I talk about myself.If you understood that you are dumb and it makes you dumber, you wouldn't have bothered writing that post. You obviously think you're smart and it's making you smarter, even though you're actually fucking retarded and can't figure out the difference between reading books to learn a subject and having a LLM spoonfeed you hints, if not full-blown solutions, to every problem you run into.>Your compulsion to reduce a general, hypothetical situation to one of self aggrandizing is textbook projection.That, of course, is pure projection. My post wasn't about you. It was about your mistake and the general implications of your idiocy.
>>17055869It's not making us dumber directly, but it does make dumb people able to convince other dumb people they're smarter than they are.It's really making organizations dumber. If any of you have leaders at work relying on LLMs for everything, they tend to fucking wreck anything through their newly found confidence in their abilities. I guess it's always been this way to some degree, but the sheer amount of decisions based on AI slop is staggering now.
>>17055869@grok context?
