I’m a grumpy old man, too, and along with that comes realism. AI is here to stay, so we should encourage responsible uses for it, and strongly resist immoral uses of it, like replacing workers.

Having AI compile a quick answer to a simple question, so I don’t have to research through a half-dozen articles, prepare my own blurb, then vote all the articles, is the kind of thing AI should be used for. I just wanted a quick synopsis of the incident, and it gave me an accurate one, and nobody has to lose their job. How dumb would it be to ignore that, and then go write my own, that would take a bunch of time, and probably wouldnt be as good?

And please don’t write your own statement, put quotes around that, and attribute it to me. If I believed that, I would say it, but I don’t believe that, and I didn’t say it. Few things are more disengenuous than putting false words in someone’s mouth, and then using that false statement as a poor argument to defend your own poor position against.
