Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.
This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

Sometimes, I get to peer into the AI pilled brain, and it is... uh... not good.
But now if I suffer from Imposter syndrome I can remind myself that some other people take advice from clankers.

Transcript:
I keep wondering: is this really a need which many people fundamentally have, or is AI usage doing something to their brains?
Most likely the latter - Gerard's already done a couple Pivot to AI posts about AI's ability to lobotomise its users (Exhibit A, Exhibit B). Someone else has noted their coworker admitting to the lying machine ruining their Google-fu, too (source):
Recently my research lead recounted a meeting among the senior people, where they hammered out a bunch of project pitches. Some of the wording was still a little rough, but they were going to pass it all through DeepL anyway, to make it read good. Also everyone's bad at spellling these days, since you got a thing that autocompletes for you, right? They were proud they remembered how to spell "continuous".
Sure, everyone has days they can't word good, but this starts sounding like worrying de-skilling. These people spend a good portion of their paid time working on and arguing over wording.
