And they're absolutely specifically pushing it, make no mistake. It's not just a matter of "it's there, it's convenient, so people are going to take the path of the least resistance", but it is a legitimate and concerted effort on the part of these companies to get people to outsource all these things to their models.

They're preying on insecurities to do it. Yes, you can write an essay - but can you write a good essay, they ask you. Do you not want to improve your output? Do you not want people to think of you as competent and very clever? Why go through the mortifying process of failing and failing and failing until you succeed if you can just skip the "learning" part of doing, and simply generate a ready-made product?

I'm preaching to the choir here obviously but it's a concerning thing to witness nonetheless. My kid is 6 next week and I've been teaching her that failing at things is morally neutral and in fact necessary even before the advent of AI, but it's becoming ever more important that we teach the kids that criticism and failure and discomfort aren't necessarily bad things, but just a part of the growth process.

its interesting to me how peoples desperation to delegitimize anything they dont agree with by implying its christian in nature has resulted in people saying things like hating pedophiles, having feminist or anti-racist beliefs, or Not Supporting Sex Traffickers are all inherently rooted in christian ideology. which is incorrect to an almost unfathomable degree

#had this said about me doing charity and volunteer work #like. no it's obstensibly based in my traditionalist lakota and innate personal values. lol #has nothing to do with and is often counter to what i was taught as a catholic
