AI is spreading across disciplines like science, math, software development, language, music, and health. You’re looking at it too narrowly. Human-computer symbiosis is accelerating at an unprecedented rate, far beyond the pace of something like the iPhone.

More like computer-human parasitism; it weakens the host.

It also only affects those with a "weak immune system" i.e. those whose bullshit filter doesn't function.

AI is here to stay for some tasks (segment anything, diffusion image generation for accelerating certain kinds of Photoshop), but LLMs are a dead end and AI Winter 2 is coming. They don't work for programming or law or medicine or mechanical engineering or even writing most emails because it's faster to just write the email yourself than to ask the AI to do it.
