“In the beginning, there was the Word. Then came the f*cking word processor, then the thought processor. Then came the death of literature.” ~Martin Silenus, “The Hyperion Cantos”

COMMENT: What saddens me most is that AI is killing critical thinking. I see more and more people using AI to do stuff like make drafts of their work, plan their day for them, summarize research, etc. And I take their point, it can help automate some of those trivial tasks. However, it’s taking away all forms of thinking from the equation. Drafts are good because they get you to THINK about what you’re going to write/create; planning your day makes you THINK about what you need to do and what to prioritize; doing research and summarizing the points of various authors makes you THINK of their views, what the key takeaways are, and allows you to assess the quality of the work. Using AI will make it easier, sure, but you’ve put yourself at a huge disadvantage in terms of having control over your own life and what your mind is capable of.
