Yeah if found it slightly ironic that an argument against using AI is made as an empty social media-style post. Ironically AI could have written a better one.

it'd be worse, just longer

It is very interesting because it tackles things people love to forget when using AI. A little over a decade ago it was scandal on how big tech companies are using peoples data, now people give it knowingly to them via all kinds of bullshit apps. So you have to repeat the obvious over and over, and even then it wont click for many.

So wild to think Cambridge Analytica was a scandal worthy of congressional hearings. LLMs are personalized persuasion on steroids.

I still feel "weird" trying to reason about GenAI content or looking at GenAI pictures sometimes. Some of it is so off-putting in a my-brain-struggles-to-make-sense-of-it way.

To me the answer was fairly obvious—default to using your own thinking first
