Leaving AI aside...
I still manage to make connections, to write, to live, and not to spend the whole day asking AI for advice. I’ve been given a brain, a healthy brain, as my father always said, and you have to use it. These days, that use leaves a lot to be desired. Apparently, it’s easier to just type something in and wait for the answer, even if that answer isn’t right. In that respect, I wonder not only about the healthy brain that humans have been given and should therefore train. And yes, thinking can be quite tiring, and so can staying alert.
First thing AI mentions if you start it up: ‘I can make mistakes and be wrong’, and that certainly seems to be the case, because there is now even a code you can type in if you want ChatGPT to think, and another if you want ChatGPT not to always agree with you.
Indeed, ChatGPT, just like other AI, is an incredible, sickening sycophant and, on top of that, very American-oriented. More than once I’ve wondered if AI is American. If you catch AI out on multiple logical errors and the most ridiculous nonsense it spouts, including addresses of companies that do or do not exist, AI will always agree with you, at least as long as it doesn’t concern: Covid-19, Trump, or the genocide committed by certain countries.
AI is a good one to get into an argument with. Since that doesn’t work, because it ingratiates itself, you’d better stay well away from it or use it with caution.
One thing is certain: AI’s hand is everywhere, not just in images, but also in the written word, and it even helps the daftest teachers and professors to write drivel in which the most idiotic claims and quotes are attributed to people who never said them. And this is precisely where it goes wrong. Anyone who uses AI and doesn’t have the necessary brain training themselves cannot see that they’re giving themselves away when they use AI-generated texts or quote AI, and so make mistake after mistake.
Unlike many, or was it the previous generation, I do not believe that the youth hold the future, nor that the ‘gems of opportunity’ stand a chance. IQ is partly in the DNA, but is also determined to a very large extent by upbringing, mental effort and thus independent thinking. Anyone who cannot think logically and draw conclusions for themselves will never possess any intellect other than AI, until the moment the plug is pulled. Without power, without Wi-Fi, you’ll be left empty-handed, or rather, spouting nonsense with an empty head. Quickly looking something up to take credit for someone else’s work will no longer be an option.
P.S. Fortunately, I can still read (and understand), I have books and an excellent memory. I remember my grandmothers’ recipes flawlessly (yes, the one born in the early 1900s). Let's try to think ourselves and leave AI aside and see how far you get without. Even without brains you still have something called instinct.

(Even without brains you still have something called instinct.)
Don't know why I'm attracted to that and maybe it's the whole post.Won't lie, I use AI sometimes when I'm too lazy to think much for myself (it's like: let this guy do the thinking) or when there's been assignments and you forgot till the dime minute. What is even hurting is I forget to at least go through what I wrote or even go back to check it out. It's one seed of laziness and makes you find comfort in stagnancy. What's upstairs or within is a seed which is supposed to grow to the outside world to showcase it fruits which continues until it's a field. Truly, no one is perfect but we should try to build ourselves so we go up to know what's there instead of waiting down receiving infos of what's up without taking the step to even see for ourselves.

It has already been proven that what is written on paper sticks in the memory better. And look where we’ve ended up. People no longer write on paper. They no longer read from paper; they don’t read before they start using AI it announces it can make mistakes; they are incapable of being critical, of asking questions, of looking for sources, of reading through the text, and with that, the recipe for a brainless humanity is complete. Certainly suitable for the brain chip Trump is talking about. A chip with which you never have to think again, not even are allowed to think for yourself.
The brain tumours and headaches are a mere side effect. There are plenty of people to sacrifice, and the art of euthanasia is the future (wasn’t such a person called an executioner in the past?).
I think the fact that people no longer wonder, search for answers, investigate things for themselves also says something. Not just about a lack of time, but much more about a lack of curiosity and interest. An intelligent person is curious; a highly intelligent person is even more curious. These are people who want to know and investigate everything; I notice this is becoming increasingly rare, and for many it is not even present. That has nothing to do with a lack of time, them simply not feeling like it on a particular day, being laxy, but with what I call a major shortcoming. A major shortcoming and a major loss. I notice this clearly on this platform too. Simply insisting that something is right when it isn’t, even though it can be found in any dictionary. And then still insisting, without even being motivated to check whether it’s true. I would certainly do that. And then there’s the secrecy of AI users, getting furious when they get a bad mark because AI got it wrong.
If they’re really going to create that brain-extension chip AI stuff which is like turning humans into cyborgs—they’d really have to be more careful. I remember hearing a saying somewhere, though I can't place it: 'For the sake of peace we've created a weapon of war, for the sake of ease our hardship grows, and for love of power we've made our doom.
I guess what we're seeing now is only the beginning. I just hope there are more wise people out there than those focused on building this potential 'nuclear bomb' of a technology. As long as there’s nothing wrong with our natural brains, we’ll still be able to think, but the divide between the wise and the foolish is definitely going to get a lot wider in that scenario.
Nothing is inherently bad to use—it’s the what, how, and when that determines the outcome. I’m not really in support of the brainchip-AI thing because it could make some people even more stupid(and it looks like some brains will get fried to create it if they haven't succeeded), but if someone is already wise , it could lead to a more....(Anything can happen, damn the topic is complicated yet interesting.)

In as much as AI is here to assist us i still feel people find it hard to think this days, I recently heard this from someone who said he saw a medical doctor asking chatGpt for prescriptions and ideas. It just tells you the era we live in, and how bad people abuse Ai. Critical thinking is very important when it comes to exercising our brain, but when we allow ChatGPT do all the work we tend to forget things a lot which is very bad.

I think it is completely inappropriate for a doctor to ask AI for advice; that is not the intention. It is also absolutely not the same as digging information out of your memory and recalling that there was an article in one of the recently published medical journals for doctors about a particular medical problem and possible solutions to it. I know that my father and I often spent whole weekends ploughing through medical journals and looking up specific information. We kept up to date with new developments, which we would then read through and compile.
These days, doctors in the Netherlands have barely any knowledge of medicines. A representative from the pharmaceutical company tells them what to prescribe, and for that, the doctor naturally receives a hefty bonus at the end of the year. This clearly shows once again that Big Pharma rules, and this has been going on for decades. Doctors here now also have an app where, as a patient, you have to register online to make an appointment, but first you have to list everything you’ve done yourself to resolve the medical problem. I don’t think this is even feasible for a great many people. People can’t think things through, let alone clearly describe whether they’re in pain, or what that pain feels like, is it a throbbing, pulling or stabbing sensation? These are all clues you need to be able to make a diagnosis. I can still remember how, during the Covid-19 lockdown, doctors suddenly went online, or rather, were forced to, and how many of them said it was impossible to make a diagnosis online. Nowadays, with so many doing it, it suddenly doesn’t matter that physical examination is no longer possible, that the camera’s lighting can give a misleading picture, and that blood pressure cannot be measured or the heart and lungs listened to. If online is the doctor of the future, then the doctor can be cut from the budget. They will then be superfluous.
I think that young people in particular have already forgotten a great deal, simply because you have to be mindful of certain substances and actions, and they were never taught this.
Ahahhahah so that means pharmaceutical companies dont get any penny from the bonus ?
Doing diagnosis online doesn’t really make sense in most cases, and it shouldn’t be the standard except when the issue is a minor one. To me a proper physical examination is very important.
Here, not all hospitals offer online appointments. Most times, you have to show up in person. They check your vitals first, then you see a doctor, and after that, they may book another appointment for you.
In Nigeria, so many doctors are leaving the country, and nurses too. 😪
I even have an uncle who moved to London he hasn’t been back in decades.
The health sector in my country is in a state of emergency. We have everything it takes to be great, but bad leadership and corruption keep damaging the system. And when those in power have medical issues, they travel abroad for proper care.
Honestly, living here means you have to be extra careful with your health every single day because of how weak the system is. It’s almost like a survival skill you’re forced to learn.

I believe that is what most do and the reason why their brains aren't trained.
I wonder if this will also cause early dementia.
It's a practical slogan of people getting free from addictions...

Aku melihat banyak unggahan di Facebook menggunakan IA dan aku terkadang hampir tertipu, tapi aku tidak tahu cara menggunakan IA dan aku tidak tertarik sama sekali, aku menganggap itu semua adalah palsu

Memang benar, kita semakin sering melihat konten AI di YouTube. Suara-suara yang menjengkelkan atau orang-orang yang mulai berbicara seperti robot. Mungkin cara bicara seperti itu memang cocok dengan sel-sel otak mereka yang mati, karena memang begitu adanya. Bagaimanapun, hal itu sangat mudah dikenali; tidak ada sedikit pun kemanusiaan di dalamnya, dan memang AI selalu setuju dengan apa pun yang Anda katakan serta jelas-jelas diprogram untuk tidak bisa mendiskusikan suatu hal secara objektif. Informasi yang dipelajarinya berasal dari sejumlah teks yang terbatas, terutama teks-teks Amerika atau yang disesuaikan dengan pola pikir Amerika, dan hal ini sangat mengganggu bagi saya. Bagi saya, menggunakan penerjemah sudah cukup sebagai AI, dan saya secara otomatis melewati hasil pertama di mesin pencari karena itu selalu jawaban dari AI. Saya juga melihat bahwa toko online sudah mulai menggunakan AI untuk merangkum ulasan. Dan semua ulasan itu pasti tidak ditulis oleh manusia.
Ya memang benar yang anda katakan temanku
Exactly, we have instinct, however, with how things are going, I don't think this will help us. More and more people are losing their jobs, it's a topic that makes me work harder, can you imagine, ME working more hahaha
