Perhaps I should rephrase. People who just get a surface answer, which may or may not be correct and can be overly simplified, limit their own understanding. Is that a better explanation? Understanding would be the next level above knowledge. Your original post clearly is not oversimplified.
Yes, but that’s a reflection of the person asking the question. I like to understand as much as I can. I listen to some of the threads here that are way over my head. I’ll listen over and over till I can begin to understand. Even if it’s information I’ll never use.
I’m not anti-AI, but stand by the “Trust your ears” statement.
Maybe not limit the understanding as much as erasing any long-term memory banks in the old noggin.
That would be a great poll to have on this thread.
It's not that we're giving control over to robots, we're giving control over to the billionaires who own those robots, along with our cognition and creativity. We're also giving away our knowledge and understanding. Yeah, the billionaire's plagiarism machine may save us time, but what happens if it's taken away after we've become used to relying on them? They may get us answers faster, but those answers come at the cost of our understanding and our agency. If we allow ourselves to rely on them as a crutch, we become helpless without it and utterly reliant on the oligarchs who control them.
Reminds me of how the dawn of calculators have diminished the ability of our youth (and adults) to do simple math in their heads. Cashiers can't even make change for a dollar without using the cash register.
