    Seriously, using something devoid of thought as “a sparring partner for your thoughts” seems to me like it’s a serious entry point to losing one’s grip.

    Especially since the behaviour of those machines is steered by large corporations whose only goal is to get your ressources, be it money, skill or attention.

      Yeah, wafflewarrior’s description of AI is hugely problematic and is the exact reason why people are falling into this crap. AI is literally the antithesis of mental exercising.

        This simply isn’t true. In fact If you use it correctly the ability to learn things and use your brain is expanded 10 fold. The human brain is cranked to max speed when it comes to processing the sheer amount of Information it gets thrown at it in seconds via AI. When used correctly it can enhance one’s ability to learn about all types of things.

      The only other thing that fascinated me more in regards to AI and psychosis that can develop …is the phenomenon of people not liking AI simply for the sake of not liking it.

      I get it, I’m a hipster too, but when people purposely decide to morph into Will Smith from I Robot for no reason…it’s just silly 🙄
