I grew up as a kid without the internet. Google on your phone and youtube kills your critical thinking skills.

Everyone I’ve ever known to use a thesaurus has been eventually found out to be a mouth breathing moron.

I know a guy who ONLY quotes and references YouTube videos.
Every topic, he answers with “Oh I saw this YouTube video…”

To be fair, YouTube is a huge source of information now for a massive amount of people.

Should he say: “I saw this documentary” or “I read this article”?

AI makes it worse though. People will read a website they find on Google that someone wrote and say, “well that’s just what some guy thinks.” But when an AI says it, those same people think it’s authoritative. And now that they can talk, including with believable simulations of emotional vocal inflections, it’s going to get far, far worse.
Humans evolved to process auditory communications. We did not evolve to be able to read. So we tend to trust what we hear a lot more than we trust what we read. And companies like OpenAI are taking full advantage of that.

Jokes on you. Volume is always off on my phone, so I read the ai.
Also, I don’t actually ever use the ai.

I am not worried about people here on Lemmy. I am worried about people who don’t know much about computers at all. i.e. the majority of the public. They think computers are magic. This will make it far worse.

I don’t think those people are not the majority anymore in 20 years…
