I mean why would someone prostrate themselves to fit into stackoverflows toxic culture when they can ask an AI trained on those same answers for the same thing. I dont use AI though
I keep saying this - when I experimented with chatgpt for a couple weeks, I felt like I learned nothing. When I manually search things down, read articles, make inferences from details - that's a research process with deep synthesis. My ideas and knowledge gained had a provenance and trail of breadcrumbs through the different resources I had dug though. Nodes on my knowledge graph I could return to later, perhaps even for a completely different subject. That week using AI was like paint by number - it felt like trying to drive somewhere I'd been before via Google maps, but without Google maps. No reference points, no muscle memory, no sense of time, just direction taking and roteness.
But then again, I have ADHD, so maybe the spatial/temporal aspect is important for me.
