Two parent comments suggested that a deep level of skill is required to:

1] drag a box around the text and press Delete 2] type some new text in there in a similar handwriting font

The implication is that we're all too stupid and everything is too hard to do even tasks so simple that they take double-digit seconds to accomplish for people with rudimentary computer skill.

We can do things. Saving 5 seconds is going to hurt worse than it helps in the long run... like asking GPT what 2+2 is because you can't figure it out.

Looks line it has already started. See a therapist, please, you have an obsession.

It's better to consider the consequences of possible futures than not to; considering the future makes us human.

“ AI is going to utterly cripple people intellectually and motivationally. If you can't even do the above ten second process, you may want to make more of an effort before you find yourself utterly fucked and starving.”

This does not sound like intellectual curiosity. Closer to polarized discourse that imho is making us less human.

When someone is not willing to even attempt to do a 30 second task, assumes they can't, asserts they can't, and people chime in to say AI is the only way they can achieve it, it seems worthwhile to point out the consequences.

Should we not be trying to do things?

Is it not in fact harmful to give up early on even such trivial tasks?

What happens when we actually need to do hard things?
