effects, primarily on Twitter, in DMs as well as public messages.
Yes, it does dumb people down. Most teachers I've discussed it with despise AI for the harm it does, with the main exceptions being educators who have become promoters of AI, and even they can see some problems with it.
Everything in the OP has the AI substituting for a person doing their own thinking. It's intellectually crippling. It's not only crippling, but a huge waste of time if anything the AI says is wrong - and the only people who will instantly know when these bullshit machines are bullshitting are those who are already expert, know the answers, and won't fall for authoritative but wrong answers.
Honestly, you'd think from reading the prompts in the OP that the user has no idea how to think unless guided by the all-knowing AI Thought Fairy. How in the world did we mere humans ever learn to think and communicate - whether immediately in dialogue or in writing to be perused later - without any hallucinating chatbot to gently and expertly guide our - hmm, let's see the adjectives used in the OP for human reasoning -
vague
unsure
unstated
thoughts, so inferior to the AI's
deeper
more creative
dynamic
adaptive
thoughtful
poetic
clarifying
and oh-so-helpful reasoning.
Of course, anything that appears deep, creative, thoughtful, poetic or clarifying in any AI's output happens only because it was trained illegally on all the intellectual property the AI company could steal.
Which was stolen, apparently, so the company could control AI the poor dumb humans will feel helpless without. Will think they have to have. AI peddlers, including the venture capitalists who've invested billions, have been very open about wanting people dependent on AI.
I have much more respect for people's ability to reason, communicate, code, and create art of all types - without chatbots owned by oligarchs - than AI peddlers and promoters have.
Generative AI is the most harmful non-weapon tech ever invented.
And now that idiots are adding it to weapons systems, its hallucinations will be deadly.
