I haven't read all 23 pages, so angry rant me if this was addressed...
Do you view outsourced thinking as a problem?
I turn to GPT4 to help flesh out ideas. How long before I'm unable to generate ideas without GPT, and does it even matter?
AI will improve over time. Humans will hand over more thought tasks. Ideation, strategizing, planning, questioning. AI will guide what we think about and how we think about it.
Humans are expected to merge with technology (the singularity) at some point.
Is there a point where outsourced thinking becomes a problem? If human thinking is inefficient, and we can get the info we need faster (i.e. instead of reading books, GPT summarizes info for us) then is it a problem?
It seems like there will be a period between where we are now and total technology immersion where smart people could be dumbed down by relying on AI. It also could be the case that dumb people might be elevated by leveraging AI, but I suspect this outcome will take longer to emerge if it occurs. Maybe all people will be elevated in intelligence by AI. I only expect that to happen once technological immersion is achieved.
My personal experience is that my thinking has suffered some by over-relying on GPT4 despite having thoughtful conversations within the AI.
Some responses might suggest leveraging AI as a supplement rather than outsourcing thinking. That is probably the ideal. But what happens if getting instant answers has a similar effect to the conditioned responses of social media that keep people scrolling for hours?
The below average have benefitted the most from AI (this article is a good description)
There's still many benefits to being 'deep' and truly knowledgeable about something and being able to use it in a real-world scenario (a lot of my thoughts are from software engineering)
When I think of AI writing code for us, it's still not creating the latest frameworks, updates to software etc - it's similar to being a producer than a consumer. If you're a pure consumer, you'll think and act like the crowd, you'll get AI to do basic boilerplate stuff that isn't impressive. If you're producing, you're building the next best things e.g. OpenAI are still coding the assistants API, the new GPTs.
My personal experience is that my thinking has suffered some by over-relying on GPT4 despite having thoughtful conversations within the AI.
I stopped using copilot (code suggestions while coding) for this reason. I went back to 'manual' to truly understand as I was effectively being lazy and dumbing down myself. Also, with a big paragraph of code it was suggesting, I was pretty much ruining my focus - I had this thought on how to do this thing, but then AI splurged everything at me and basically ruined any clear thinking.
