@pheonix@hachyderm.io I have a weird take but I find the worst offenders of using AI for writing, making charts, coming up with ideas etc. essentially have low confidence in their skills and view the chatbot as a free executive assistant that in reality is not trained to do any of this. The most insidious part is that these generative AI companies are basically selling a LLM (a glorified version of auto complete) as a wonder tool when in reality there are so many errors, issues and problems with using these tools— and that is before we get into stuff like the unethical nature of these companies and things like IP theft. Something that grinds my gears is how people will say— oh well I use Claude or Perplexity vs. Grok AI or Chat GPT when in reality, all these things steal and copy off of each other and have the same ethical issues (with Grok having the most in terms of producing rampant exploitative material). A lot of my classmates love to state they like using Claude for homework help and essay writing. To me, it gives off desperation, lack of concrete skills in writing and researching as well as the early 2010s vibes of a hipster saying "oh, I use Apple vs Windows because it's more protected" when in reality it really wasn't that much more secure if you worked in actual pen testing/hacking. Overall I find it lazy and I can go in and break these things pretty easily and I have NO CS or computer background.
