It’s good that we’re talking about this; the issue needs to be kept alive, given that future generations will inherit what we leave behind. I think the desire to manipulate is as intrinsic to human nature as the desire to react and resist when we are being manipulated. What I’m noticing is this willingness to give in to what is devouring us.

Perhaps we’re still immature, and those who come after us will have a good laugh at the choices we’ve made; or perhaps we’ll simply vanish like those civilisations that were once so intelligent and innovative, yet whose decline we are still trying to fully understand today.

I can’t say whether it’s right or wrong. AI makes my work much easier. I’m referring to calculation and analysis: in these areas, it’s particularly useful when precision and speed matter. When it comes to creativity, however, it’s a disaster: stupid, repetitive and banal. The ideal tool for making the mediocre even more mediocre. But I’ll leave it at that.

Thank you for mentioning DeepL; I admit I wasn’t familiar with it, and I’ve always been misled by translation errors here on Steemit, where I most often need to translate using Google. But now I’ve downloaded DeepL, so things will be better.
