A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

I delivered pizza during COVID and most people I worked with couldn't follow simple directions to an address or read a road map. If a destination didn't show up on their cellphone's navigation then they were immediately and hopelessly lost.
If you don't use and exercise your brain then it atrophies and dies. AI is going turn a lot of people into conscious vegetables.
Pretty sure this has been happening for decades. The "problem" (it's not a problem) is navigation systems, not LLMs.
I don't think they were blaming AI for the inability to follow directions without a GPS... They were making an analogy.
The root issue is the same, which is: to delegate more and more rational thought to machines.
Yup. How many phone numbers do you have memorized? If you're from the era before cellphones you had to memorize numbers or carry a cheat sheet. You probably had anywhere from 10-30 numbers memorized. Now people don't even know their spouses numbers.
