    dude had already swallowed the tech bs, thinks ai is the furthest advancement of technology when it can’t compete with ancient tech. literally can’t do what a calculator can do reliably. or a timer. or a calendar.

      Please let’s try to keep generative AI from claiming the entire word “AI”.
      Current generative AI is good at and built for mimicking patterns with boundary conditions.
      This means it does a decent job of imitating authoritative knowledge, but it’s just mimicking it.
      People are hyped for it because it looks knowledgeable, it’s relatively simple to make, and a lot of what we do is text based so it’s easy to apply.

      There are a lot of other types of AI, the majority even, that work significantly better, take a small fraction of the computing power and provide helpful and meaningful results. They just don’t look like anything other than complex math, which is all any of them are in the end.

      A calculator, timer or calendar can’t help me write an essay. You are comparing tools meant for different tasks. At least build your argumentets on something reasonable.

        Why argue with someone who isn’t intelligent enough to write their essays without mechanical assistance?

        Take an English class you illiterate gremlin.

        Resource intense auto correct that does not understand the information it’s stringing together should not be used to write anything academically or professionally.

              Those are all tools, you’re bashing this guy for using one of them, so I’m bashing you for using a calculator. I’m pretty sure that you used one once in your life

                Oh I see, you didn’t catch my meaning that AI is a shitty tool for even the thing OP was talking about.

                I refer you to my first comment as guidance on how you can improve your reading comprehension.
