You're being intentionally intellectually dishonest with your take here and this an absurd whataboutism. The author isn't telling people to stop using AI for work, coding tasks, etc he's saying to stop using it as a replacement for human interaction.

Anecdotally, I've seen the effects that people delegating their executive functions to AI have had and the damage is quick and harrowing

If that is the argument, it makes even less sense. Who is using AI to replace human interaction?

People use AI to replace other computer solutions for things. This is arguing against a straw man.

I suggest reading James Muldoon's "Love Machines" for a thorough answer to your question.

No i'm not. You could just ask me and have an option discussion instead of downvoting and thinking i'm dishonest.

People today don't ask other people what 'time saving tipps' they have, you google and checkout some influencer etc.

I also have never asked some friends about their camping trip ideas. I use tripadvisor, or similiar things. My mom does it the same way and the rest of my family (all non it people).

He uses some hyperbole for the marriage proposal text but lets be honest, if a person is using that instead of trying it themselves, they wouldn't have tried it themselves anyway.

I also take pictures, you know how it felt already 10 years ago when people compared your pictures to evyerone else pictures? This train has departed. Everyone did red color key pictures, had their B/W phase etc.

How much time do we all actually sit in front of screens? Why are we discussiong this on hn? I don't know you, you don't know me. You don't care who i'm as a person.

My comment is genuin and its true.
