It worries me how many people prefer using AI over doing their own thinking. How much of your life will you "live" on autopilot? Hollowing out your own soul little-by-little when you do things like that.

It's funny how people can't help themselves, despite realizing that just around the corner is "if all you are is an interface to chatgpt, what are we paying you for exactly?".

Here's what I tell people at work: It's OK to use AI, but you must say it's AI. If you post something and say "Here's what GPT-5 says" - great. Love the efficiency. If someone asks you to do something and you respond with clearly AI-generated crap masquerading as your own, you will be getting a piece of my mind.

personaly, I am very busy spooling up a new iteration of my business, and various constraints are forcing me to quicker descision making, and a patern is emerging where I need to cut other humans off, when it becomes clear that they are working from and to false information, and will not let go of "that" to focus on the actual situation and task at hand, the flip side is that some people are cutting ME! off, when I insist on sticking to the actual real world reason for our talking, rather than a digresion into the "app" and it's issues. the take away is that the "attention economy" has worked past anything functional and is well into unintended consequences territory.
