Boy people just can’t wait to outsource critical thinking to AI can’t they? Listen you have an awesome computer called your BRAIN. It’s really good at helping determine what is and isn’t real and be discerning on deciding about what is being put in front of you being real.

The second you think AI is some infallible, unbiased voice you’ve lost.

When people say they want to outsource X to ChatGPT, there's usually an aspect of wishing to subvert the power X experts exert. The corollary is also true.

It's really not. If you have little to no knowledge about a topic you're asking it, how are you going to discern that it's not spitting out crap? Sure you might be able to easily distinguish some complete garbage, but little errors that still invalidate the whole thing can be a much harder thing to do.

Looking at how much utter garbage people believe, I'm thinking the awesomeness of that brain is greatly overestimated. There is much need to outsource thinking, because we are not very good at it.
