This:

"For these AI boosters, the point isn't to create an AI that can do the work as well as a person – it's to condition the world to accept the lower-quality work that will come from a chatbot"...

This has been going around in my mind for a while now, it bugs the hell out of me because I see people NOT getting it; in my profession and chosen career -architecture- some people actually think AI helps, I definitely think it doesn't and fuck AI.

@oscarfalcon @pluralistic It's infuriating when you see it all over your profession. People are just abdicating all ability to think to AI because its "easier" and "faster". And not everything needs to have a chatbot or needs to be conversational.
