    That is an absolutely horrifying statement. The idea that people are becoming unable or unwilling to use any problem solving or critical thinking.

      Have you ever read “I, Starship?” This is literally the bunker people that they come back to on their return voyage after the 1st book. Totally dependant on their AI governor for any decision-making whatsoever.

      Man, why’d all the shitty sci-fi have to come true… I don’t wanna live in I Have No Neuromancer And I Must 451

        To quote Alex:

        Alex Blechman (@AlexBlechman) tweeted: Sci-Fi Author: In my book I invented the Torment Nexus as a cautionary tale.

        Tech Company: At long last, we have created the Torment Nexus from classic sci-fi novel Don’t Create The Torment Nexus.

        Kinda like in Wall-E where almost nobody has critical thought until a robot teaches it to them. They all have their entertainment systems mindlessly scrolling while the robots do everything for them.

      I meaaaan, I’d argue that before ChatGPT people would just read books or ask others for advice, no? Ain’t no one figuring out child rearing completely in the dark.

      I’d also argue, of course, that ChatGPT is a significantly unhealthier means to solve the same problem.
