I saw the following in a reply on the orange site: Lately, I've started contemplating learning LUA since it's easy to work with and tied to Roblox, for game making, but again, AI's put a pause on all things related to learning, as far as mentally absorbing new stuff is concerned. I don't see the point I wish I had a funny reply, but this is just tragic. It really does happen to some people, and I fear that this reaction is exactly what the people in charge of this wants.

@loke I experience a variation of this. I've completely lost motivation for nearly all creative activity (including programming) because I feel there's no point.

@loke What do they do when they run out of tokens? It's like living with your parents, never getting a job, never learning to care for yourself, to cook food or wash clothes. When they die, then what?

@loke why learn to read, when there's TTS? Why chew when there are blenders? Why bathe when there's Axe bodyspray?

@loke Most of this thinking comes from thinking about AI in the abstract and not considering the details. Often it does not do what you were planning to do without considerable additional effort.
