Is AI always going to be stuck at its current level? Is there no way to improve it?

Both groups were asked to research how to start a vegetable garden, with some participants randomly selected to use AI, while others were asked to use a search engine. According to the study’s findings, those who used ChatGPT gave much worse advice about how to plant a vegetable garden than those who used the search engine.

This seems like not quite the same thing as the implied effective brain damage from the headline.

I welcome you all to my level. 🙂‍↕️

And the people who control the Ai control us.

That's why I limit my use of it to moronic activities, like replying to brain-dead customers who can't read five lines of text. If I didn't, I wouldn't be able to restrain myself from insulting them, probably.

I use it to help me correct my grammar and punctuation. It's great at fixing those problems. Other than that, it's just been a fever dream

Eh. People do just fine at that without AI, what difference does it really make?

Same has been said about nearly every advancement in history.

Replace "using AI" with "managing undergrads" and all the experiments are obvious (yes, you can't quote a paper you asked an undergrad to write) and all the headlines are insane (no, you are not a moron for asking an undergrad to write the report).

Einstein called it

Science predicts people will become so stupid they won't even be able to figure out a way to blame it on boomers.

Nuh uh I asked gpt and it said: The impact of AI on human intelligence and decision-making depends largely on how we choose to use and integrate these technologies. AI can serve as a powerful tool to enhance learning, creativity, and problem-solving when used thoughtfully. However, there is a concern that over-reliance on AI for basic tasks or critical thinking might lead to skill atrophy or reduced mental engagement in certain areas.

Ultimately, AI's influence on human cognition will depend on factors such as education, individual habits, and societal norms. Promoting responsible use, critical thinking, and continuous learning can help ensure that AI complements rather than diminishes human intelligence.

Too late

Make us?

No shit.
