Does Wikipedia rot my brain by the same logic? If it didn't exist I would remember lots more historical and technical info, but instead I can just search for it

My stupid is 100% organic. Can’t have the AI make you dumber if you don’t use it.

I just got an email at work starting with: "Certainly!, here is the rephrased text:..."
People abusing AI are not even reading the slop they are sending
I get these kinds of things all the time at work. I'm a writer, and someone once sent me a document to brief me on an article I had to write. One of the topics in the briefing mentioned a concept I'd never heard of (and the article was about a subject I actually know). I Googled the term, checked official sources ... nothing, it just didn't make sense. So I asked the person who wrote the briefing what it meant, and the response was: "I don't know, I asked ChatGPT to write it for me LOL".

The less you use your own brains, the more stupid you eventually become. That's a fact, like it or don't.
Absolutely loathe titles/headlines that state things like this. It's worse than normal clickbait. Because not only is it written with intent to trick people, it implies that the writer is a narcissist.
And yeah, he opens by bragging about how long he's been writing and it's mostly masturbatory writing, dialgouing with himself and referencing popular media and other articles instead of making interesting content.
Not to mention that he doesn't grasp the idea that many don't use it at all.

Joke's on you, I was already stupid to begin with.
I did that with drugs and alcohol long before AI had a chance.
