Comment on Microsoft Study Finds AI Makes Human Cognition “Atrophied and Unprepared”
fakeplastic@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 days agoPeople don’t do everyday fucking math at the grocery store like they should because they don’t have the wherewithal to pull out the calculator for all the everyday things. People fucking can use a calculator to do math, but they choose not to unless they’re forced to. So the math just doesn’t get done. Now imagine what will happen a generation down the road when it’s not math that people have given up practicing, but general fucking thinking.

Yes, I demonstrated that technological progress allows us to live our lives memorizing fewer words since they can be looked up so easily. But I wrote a substantive and original argument. Did you? Will it be even harder for you after ten years of letting machines do your writing and thinking for you?

you didn’t demonstrate, you just claimed it. if doing the math in your head makes you feel good about yourself, do it… the cashier has a calculator and a scanner to save them time, you’re not complaining about the lack of definition in their arms or their poor work ethic, i hope…
