Not necessarily. The same logic would apply if you were just robotically using Google user ratings (e.g. "this is nearby and it has 5 stars, lets go there"), but it wouldn't if you looked through the results and used some taste, judgement, and experience.
- rpdillon 1y agoThere seems to be this assumption that if you ask AI for input, somehow you've turned into a slave that isn't capable of critiquing its response and integrating it into a larger decision-making process. Why do people make that assumption? That would be the dumbest possible way to use AI.
- exsomet 1y agoOne of the major stories from the rise of AI tooling was when people cooked a recipe that included glue. I don’t think it’s unfair to assume some non-trivial percentage of people use these tools in a very dumb way.
- rpdillon 1y agoThat's fair. But refusing to date somebody because you assume they're using it in the dumbest possible way seems a bridge too far.
