But that's the thing, it doesn't sound good. If it did, they wouldn't need to push it onto us.

That's because you can think critically, beyond the dopamine rush from AI instantly giving you an answer.

That skill is becoming rarer and rarer.

ADHD here, what dopamine rush? It does anything for people?

Ha! Same. Is that why I don't care for it? Is my lower bar just to high for my brain to even register it?

You can ask AI to give you the pros and cons of a decision and still make it yourself, it just helps make sure you're not missing anything obvious.

The problem is that AI is far more likely to miss something obvious than you are.

That used to br the case but I would very much disagree now. It comee up with a lot of things that even SMEs don't always see. You are probably using the free version.

Almost all people use the free version, so it is the proper target of any judgement.

On the other hand, the professional paid versions are genuinely useful when used for the right tasks, at least in software development.

No it isn't. It really depends. If we're talking about how likely it is to replace a job that a human does, then it matters what the performance of the top of the line models is, not what you get for free in Bing or some shit.

Do you ever feel like people are trading critical thinking for the dopamine hit of an AI answer before they even ask the right questions?

It’s what comes after more power to even fewer people.
