Not everyone delegates their critical thinking capabilities to AI. And it was never the one and the only attribute that defined what a human being is. It is a post-Industrial Age concern, when they needed educated populace who could follow instructions at the factory floor, and participate in democracy. Today we don't have both obligations anymore. Sure we vote, but we don't really have a say in government affairs anymore, and sure we think and follow instructions to KYC ourselves to the latest crypto exchange, but our thoughts never reach out to engineers or scientists who end up creating the very addictive tools that we use. Just as intended, we are, as collective masses, sliding back to pre-Industrial age way of life.

If all the entry jobs vanish, how will the next gen of professionals even exist? Some sectors are obviously safe (for now), but for the rest of them, are we seriously expecting people to somehow spawn as senior employees when they're all retired or dead? I honestly can't tell which way the job market is headed in the next few years.

Does it mean that the article is going to be updated in a few weeks?

No, no I don't. Am I weird that I'm not using AI to write an email? Or summarize an article with a few paragraphs?

As for exploring ideas, sure I use LLMs for that. But only because they fuel the fire. I don't ask them to solve my problem, I used them as an interactive knowledge bank of sorts.

Is that why there are comments in here from 6 new accounts created 1 hour ago (one was half an hour ago I guess) and used this post as their first comment? [meaning they are AI posters, thus "we are marching mindlessly towards the end of humanity"]

*note: atm there are 10 comments including mine
