"By using AI, tasks like essays that used to take hours can be completed in minutes!" Sure, like how if I arrive at the gym and immediately go for a shower, my workout is done in record time. And if I throw my sandwiches straight in the bin, I can finish my lunch in under 10 seconds.

@Garwboy@ohai.social For me the joy is the workout or development process Muscles or a app or game are just by products

Hey, you know what *did* take ages to write, and used 0% AI? My various books https://www.hive.co.uk/search/keyword?keyword=dean%20burnett&productType=0 They've been nicked and used to train various AI engines, and cost me a lot of earnings in the process, so if you like your info 'direct from source', please consider purchasing one.

@Garwboy@ohai.social Not eat the sandwich, but throw it straight into the toilet? Artificial intelligence is often shit.

@Garwboy@ohai.social it is baffling how the AI boosters miss the point at every chance they get. As if "the essay" was the point of writing.

@Garwboy@ohai.social I assume people who use AI to write their essays have nothing to say.

@Garwboy@ohai.social “Sense of accomplishment and satisfaction at overcoming a difficult or challenging task? What’s that?” - AI bros, probably.
