“ 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?
