This whole idea that “If you don't use AI you’re going to be left behind” makes no sense to me. Like, if I ever do have to use it, how hard is it to type into a chat box? The ability to clearly break down and communicate ideas is kind of my whole thing. It’s the reason why I can design publications, teach people, and write essays and code without using AI in the first place. Why do people assume that asking a chatbot to do stuff is going to be hard for anyone? I don’t avoid LLMs because I fear technology. I love tech. I avoid it because it makes the world a worse place. I don’t want to be part of that, and I don’t want to be de-skilled by relying on a chatbot. But if my hand is forced, believe me, I’m not going to have any trouble. And if you did find it difficult to get started using an LLM, you’re probably exactly the type of person who would benefit tremendously from doing stuff on your own. #AI
