I must admit that I am going to find it fascinating when we hit the point where it becomes nearly impossible to deny the efficacy of these tools. I have straight up had people, even in real life, suggest that I'm lying about my productivity gains or what I'm able to accomplish with them.
Like, I understand the reasonable arguments against (I even agree with a few), but it's clear that some people have fully inserted their head into the sand and just don't want to believe any of this could be true. Which will be harsh, since I think getting hit with this train all at once in the future is going to be a rougher ride than a slower coming-to-terms-with, even if the result is one we're unhappy with.

- xboxnolifes 5mo agoOk? Then don't use AI to do arithmetic. It's not their strong suit.
- hansmayer 5mo agoOh, basic counting is now arithmetic? But I was told they were superintelligent and were going to cause an apocalypse because they can do pretty much everything ? Somehow because they can excrement a lot of text, we were told they can do everything else too?
- simonw 5mo agoGoogle's "AI overviews" have been utter junk pretty much consistently since they launched the feature.
- xboxnolifes 5mo ago> Oh, basic counting is now arithmetic? Ye- yes? It's addition by 1.
- anthonyrstevens 5mo agoNo it doesn't, at least not for me.
- duped 5mo agoI don't deny their efficacy, I'm saying that there's a massive crop of grifters and liars building them and using them.
- supern0va 5mo agoWhat is the motivation for us users to lie about our experiences? It's to the degree now that people simply refuse to believe that I'm honestly describing my experiences with these tools? I understand the motivations for the labs to lie, but what do you think mine is?
- duped 5mo agoWhy do you deliberately misread my comments? I am not talking about your "experience."
