> My argument is that using a machine to replace your thinking, your voice, or your relationships is a very bad thing. Humans have intrinsic worth—machines do not.

I agree with that, and the only logical path if we are to preserve this principle is to eradicate AI, and not try and control it. There is no way to control it (think prisoner's dilemma, greedy individuals, etc.)



No, what will happen is that time wasted believing in magical LLMs, instead of developing technical and interpersonal skills will prove unproductive longterm. Like most goldrush claims not panning out, it will be followed by broad amorality among the newly destitute.

Read a book.


Unproductive for the person perhaps, but not for the development of technology. But I do agree in general that using AI is not a great strategy for human beings. Read a book indeed.
