I feel like it's fine(ish) for work, and I agree, as long as you can show some evidence it's either easing your work flow vs causing you more issues, it's serving it's purpose.
My concern is people who seem to get hooked on it like a drug, and refuse to acknowledge any evidence it's causing more issues than actually helping them. Like they get really anxious/can't function without it, and start trusting AI more than they trust their own ability to reason through a problem.
It's especially concerning to me when people use it like this outside of work, like a life guide. It's almost like the AI starts doing the living for them.
For example, when it comes to navigating relationships, AI can give some really bad advice because it's lacking human connection and feeling/intuition. Those are pretty essential ingredients for decision making. If you decide to always default to AI to help you make decisions or solve problems, you're forgoing the entire experience of having a human relationship.
That connection and the way you feel are kind of the whole point. Human relationships aren't easy, sometimes they hurt, and people usually don't respond well to only being acknowledged when the other person feels like interacting with them. But feelings and being able to understand the other person's perspective even if you don't agree with them, are kind of the entire experience of being human. Without that experience you might as well just not have human relationships, and some people seem to be ok making that sacrifice.
