Sure but you could be saying that about calculators vs pen and paper math. At some point you will need to abandon this position.

- gyomu 8mo agoI think it’s more like solving a math problem yourself (whether with tools like pen & paper, or a calculator), vs asking an AI agent to solve the problem for you.
- TurdF3rguson 8mo agoRight but only because you've mentally tagged using a calculator with "doing it by yourself" and using AI as "not doing it by yourself". In both cases you are doing it by yourself in one sense and not doing it by yourself in another.
- coldtea 8mo agoIn the AI case the "not doing it by yourself" sense is much much much much much much more correct.
- coldtea 8mo agoIt's also valid for calculators vs pen and paper math. Calculators make calculation much easier, but people doing math with them lose a sizable part of their mathematic skills. To the point of kids not being able to do a simple addition or multiplication or percentage calculation (never mind division) with a calculator, even when someone used to pen and paper can trivially doing with just their mind.
- ido 8mo agoI think grade school kids learning arithmatics shouldn't use a calculator & highscool pupils/collegue students/junior devs learning to program shouldn't use AI to generate code until they learned how to do it manually for the same reason (the temptation to let the machine do it for you & thus not learn is too great).
- mmustapic 8mo agoDigitally painting an image is completely different from asking an AI to make one. Writing a short story is very different from asking an AI to write it. Same with arithmetics, problem solving, coding.
