Massive Failure in Iran

Yeah, actually, it does. It creates a whole generation of intellectually lazy people.

Doing your own research means you actually develop an understanding of the subject matter.

Now, I'm not a saint. I've recently started posting my Science Fiction Stories I've written over the last 20 years on Kindle, and I've used AI to create cover art. Because I really can't draw (despite my late mother being an art teacher.)

But nothing annoys me more than watching an AI video with incorrect images, bad facts, and mispronounced words.

Wasn't that the same argument about kids using calculators 50 years ago?

Should people be allowed to use a TV remote control instead of manually getting off their lazy asses to change the channel? Hmmm....

Actually, I think the calculator argument is valid.

Ask someone to do long division these days, and they'll look at you funny.

Back in the 1970's, we were the remote.

Okay, all joking aside, yes, some of this technology is wonderful. For instance, Google Translate makes my marriage possible, as I don't speak Mandarin and my wife doesn't speak English.

Of course, it also has some funny moments. Like one time, she wanted to say to me, "Don't worry, honey, you'll succeed" (Bié dānxīn, qīn'ài de, nǐ huì chénggōng de.)

And Google Translate heard it as "don't worry, Honey, you'll die soon!" (Bié dānxīn, qīn'ài de, nǐ hěn kuài jiù huì sǐ de.)

But at the end of the day, not bothering to learn things isn't a help, which is why I take daily Mandarin lessons.

No, I just don't waste my time on AI generated crap by people who can't think or do their own research.

No, you hate AI because it makes it so easy to expose your lies.
