Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.
This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

While browsing the references of the paper, I found such a perfect evisceration of GenAI.
We have confused what we can write down with what we usefully know and compounded the error by supposing that because computers can help us write down more they can obviously help us know more.
The marks are on the knowledge worker - Kidd, Alison
That's from 1994 folks, they were talking about the wonder of relational databases.
Big Data was never exactly my fave, but I still liked them better than Genai after he went solo. Some people just never learn that it's never about the size, but how you use it.
Whoops, I dropped my monster Hadoop that I use for my magnum datalake.
Qualitatively, GenAI shifts the nature of critical thinking toward information verification, response integration, and task stewardship.
Information verification is super important and probably just as important as raw critical thinking. However, when a person is stuck only validating shit output from genai, I could see that as a negative.
and as the paper details, they don't do that either
I get forced to do more critical thinking than I want to faster than I normally would, since im getting the fast responses, its tiring, if I do something myself I go at my own pace, with ai theres always more stuff to check and do and think about, so I burn out
