I am curious where you draw your line. We have all sorts of “machines that do the hard things for you”, do you shun them all? Cars, washing machines, lawnmowers

I am curious where you draw your line. We have all sorts of “machines that do the hard things for you”, do you shun them all? Cars, washing machines, lawnmowers, etc…
I know that AI has some different characteristics than those technologies, but my point is that I don’t think your issue is that does the hard things for you… there has to be something else going on.

- theshrike79 6mo agoThere's a specific set of people who get a Zen feeling from doing things the long way. I'm not one of those, my brain doesn't give me any more dopamine whether I spent a long time doing a thing or took a shortcut. I don't even get dopamine from completing the task, I just get a list of more things that need to be done.

- fatbird 6mo agoAre you this patronizing and condescending in the rest of your life?
- cortesoft 6mo agoI am sorry if I came off that way, that was not my intent.
