New type of people is emerging quickly in our society. AIdiots are being forged now, like orks in Saruman’s factory.
It’s really easy to become an Aidiot. Just use chatgpt for everything. Need answer? Ask CG. Need piece of code? Need idea what to make for breakfast? Need some text, summary, list of anything? Need solve any homework of any subject? Ask CG. Copy paste answer without reading, even reading it once.
Human brain has lots of capacity. When early human stepped down from trees and created complex society in order to survive in harsh, hostile and deadly environment, their brains reorganized. Parts responsible for short term memory and vision started to take new responsibility of hearing and understanding, and abstract thinking. Those new abilities were required to understand signals from pack members and to be creative and able to learn survival skills. It allowed later to create tools and weapons.
The same process will happen with your brain swiftly, when you stop exercising it with thinking. I’m not talking evolution, millions of years. I’m talking months.
Before Aidiocy era, when you wanted to finds done fact, you used search engines. They gave you not only context, explanation, drawings and pictures. They often gave you different perspectives.
Not so current chats. They give you one, correct answer. Which is a hallucination quite often. Getting one answer is detrimental to your brain. It will become to recede. Unexercised neurons will idle, not needing energy and our body will become less agile. Less energy required? Great! I can rest. No need to look for new energy source.
I admit, ChatGPT is able to respond with discussion, giving more than one answer and discussing which one is valid. Try to ask, if Earth is flat. Usually, only one answer is pointed as correct from scientific point of view.
If all questions will be answered quickly and unambiguously, our mental strength will go down. Like a sportsman, who stopped running. when brain will go down, everything will go down.
You will become Aidiot nuzzling cats on you smartphone screen and asking ChatGPT for everything. Finally, you will stop asking. You will not need any answers.
Beware!
