Isn't that the whole point? It wouldn't be any use for anyone if a new technology did the same thing as before but made it harder rather than easier.

- Barrin92 1y agoIt would be of great use if it did that. Technology can roughly be grouped in two categories. One that enhances, amplifies and develops innate human capacity, and tools that diminish it. Using a bow engages more faculties, both physical and mental than clobbering someone on the head but it's also a more effective tool. Using a debugger is both a difficult skill but also useful. You grow, and have to increase your aptitude , with the tool use. An exercise bike and meditation practice are harder than a sleeping pill and ozempic. Chatbots are more in the category of the 400 pound guy driving through wallmart on his electric scooter. Whatever use it has, it almost certainly diminishes if not totally atrophies their ability to move. Given that the modern framing of technology has changed to "what does it do for me" rather than "what does it do to me", it's not surprising that people are largely not capable to understand the difference.
