    I just sort of consider these “after-losses”, they’re the losses that come in the hours and days after a significant loss, the one we know and consider when we lost, “this time”.

    We can both reset our clocks now I suppose, but in the end it will never be more accurate than “oh it’s been months” or “I haven’t thought of that in a long time”, “maybe a few years”, “nearly a decade”

    So we can keep time from the date of the inciting incident I think

    The point of learning long division is so you understand it. Once you understand it, THEN you can use the calculator.

    Your entire argument is prefaced on the assumption that genAI is something that is actually useful.

    The corollary of your luddite point is that EVERY SINGLE TECHNOLOGY is useful and groundbreaking and should be adopted.

    That’s obviously not the case, lots of technologies are dead ends or can be accomplished much more efficiently with existing technology.

    If genAI is a tool, can you tell me what exactly it is that it does?

    I didn’t really say AI bad, though I think it is. But it’s objectively different. A calculator is designed so that when you punch in 2+2 it return 4 every single time, because that’s how it functions.

    If you ask AI the same question twice you get 2 answers, different AIs give different responses, different prompts, different people, different geography.

    It may be able to consistently regurgitate mostly correct answers to fairly uncontroversial common questions. Things we might call “facts”, things that largely have that information available freely in the world anyway.

    As soon as we’re talking about subjectivity, writing essays and supporting arguments etc, you’re taking your life in your hands trusting AI with that kind of answer.

    But largely this stuff is besides the point.
