please god forbid it, there is an anti-intellectual epidemic. There are people here using ai to plan outfits, hold conversation, and educate themselves, as if the app doesn't just regurgitate what it thinks you want to hear. Leave your echo chamber.

Bruh what’s the harm in using AI for outfit planning or studying lmfao That’s like someone who was around when Google was invented saying “you have a library you can go to, Google is cheating/going to make you dumb”

i saw a guy ask AI what he should have for lunch today i like my free will i think. i like thinking deeply about the world and having my own opinions, style, and revelations.

Okay but you didn’t answer my question And looking up lunch recipes/ideas isn’t bad for meal planning purposes imo, unless he was going it at a restaurant or dining hall or something which might be a little silly

creativity is a skill and creativity brings joy. substituting your creativity for a machine is removing your outlets for the fundamental want to create. we are EVOLUTIONARILY DRIVEN to want to do these things, unless you’ve burnt your dopamine receptors to hell.

I mean I definitely that AI generated art and music is bad, but I mean, why are we making such a big deal about using it for outfit planning? I don’t think that falls under the “fundamental want to create”, and I’m definitely not evolutionarily driven to create outfits. It’s like stealing outfits off of Pinterest. No one has a problem with that, so how is that any different?

the harm is the amount of water it is using to cool down data centers. It is terrible for our environment and communities. It is draining water sheds and your own creativity. Choose not to use AI because you do NOT need it to choose an outfit or to study bro.

So I went to a therapist once and she had a student come in and take notes and observe me, never again doing that

then get a new one, don't "bean soup" me, your one time experience doesn't invalidate my point. I have had bad experiences with therapists, until i found one that actually helped me grow, told me not just what I wanted to hear but what I NEEDED.

Therapy is really expensive and not accessible to everyone. AI is. You can’t deny reality by expecting everyone to bend to your world view. Being in a position where you can hate on AI is a PRIVILEGE.

I also don’t NEED to drive a car to work every day—I could walk instead, and help save the environment!—but nobody does that, because it’s not convenient. It’s the same thing with AI. Also, on an individual level, driving a car takes up WAY MORE of a person’s carbon footprint than AI use. Just food for thought.

Btw I ask the ai for different perspectives to understand where others are coming from or how they might see it, I don’t to it just to validate my own feelings

Maybe just ask the people you’re arguing w to further explain it if you don’t understand? Omg people are so parasocial and can’t interact unless it’s on the internet jesus

You have no idea where I come from at all, you do not know me. There are a lot of free online recourses that I PERSONALLY used to get access to a therapist because i couldnt afford one while my family was losing our house and some days I wasnt able to eat which is why I needed therapy. Don't ever try that.

Your observations are valid but their causation misattributed. Sapience wasn’t automatic in humans before AI. AI is not why we have pod ‘people’. The same ‘people’ will continue to be more pod than person. Those of us who are still smarter than AI will use it to synthesize information and do things with it the rest of yall don’t have the imagination for. 🤷‍♂️

Didn’t say that’s ALL you think but it is about all you said. Is reading a waste of brain power just because you let someone else present info packaged for you instead of researching yourself? Is curing shit our primitive ass medicine (we’re only very good at emergency medicine and surgery, really) can’t touch yet? Lot of people smarter than you are using AI and the right way, just keep that in mind.

LOL, yeah I’m dealing with people with depression, anxiety, adhd, and refuse to talk things out, so I use AI to try and find a way to get through to them because they are so black and white
