Another Atlantic article that appears to hit.

The TLDR is if you seek higher cognition and use AI as a tool alongside that practice you’ll be fine. If you lean on AI to avoid cognition then you’ll backslide into the primordial goo as a person.

It's hilarious how badly you've misread this situation.

I'm in the camp of people who see pseudo intellectual bullshit bandied about all day on the internet and have since it all began.

"Seeking higher cognition" is meaningless word fluff and anyone who feels the need to advertise and ensure others are aware of their intelligence rank, which is of course ABOVE THEM.

seeking higher cognition is the type of phrase that makes my amigdyla fire and engage my primal prey response because this shit is either a cult or a scam and we're the marks.

AI doesn't mean anything, AI is a lot of things to a lot of people but really it's software. Software that a lot of people have bet very very heavily on, but that doesn't seem to really be finding a market to the scale warranted by the insane resources that have been allocated and are being used every day. The math there doesn't work, huge amounts of land, power, water, high end computers, 247365, and you sell the world's new MS paint.

Anyway fuck you

Ok, well if you read the article you’re so mad about you wouldn’t be so mad 🤷

I'm not mad at the article really, it's just dumb. I'm mostly mad at the dumbass I responded to

Well I'm mad at AI, that hardly makes me mad at the article. Ok though. Bye
