don’t antromorphize the computer sycopathy is just how they programmed the thing all the information to heavily challenge your ideas is in there
try it
tell it you think using an AI to challenge your ideas is great (the opposite of what you think)
yeah but you’re very biased about what you think
it actually is really refreshing to get a LLM to break down your arguments and ideas
cognitive friction really gets the best out of your brain even if the AI is only averagely good at disproving your ideas
thinking for yourself and using AI isn’t mutually exclusive
prompt like this:
"what did Nietzsche think was the influence on western society of the victory of jewish christian moral on the ancient greek values
and why was he so stupid about it"
I’m sure the subjects of the research mentioned in the article do all that.
I can say AI is being used for a lot of stupid wasteful things. I don’t know what it costs for AI to seemingly improve our knowledge workers, but to me that is worth something.
