No. Stupid people do stupid shit. Gemini doesn’t tell to to do this or that (“stick a fork in a socket and see what happens”). Your best friend tells you to jump off a bridge… Nope. AI is giving you the specs and things to consider. “If you jump off this particular bridge, then this will be the likely outcome”. That is factually correct! If you don’t understand how to use AI as a probability indicator, that’s on you. Not everyone who jumps off of that bridge or sticks that fork in that socket will die, but the odds exceed 87% or whatever. If you can’t use it for what it is, then don’t use it. When I worked as an hvac tech for Walmart, sometimes AI had bad information, but it was always 100% correct in flagging something that looked out of spec (“This is a potential problem”). It had far more eyes to look at everything (every store), than my 2 eyes had looking only at the store I was in. AI will give you a whole 'nuther perspective than your own 2 eyes and biased brain. “Well I’ve never been injured doing xyx”. Yeah, OK. But “if you use a grinder without a face mask, and you injure your eyes, you won’t get your eyesight back”. Take it for what it’s worth. AI can show you some serious blind spots in your logic by condensing thousands of research papers and web pages in milliseconds. If you don’t want to use it, that’s on you. I really don’t care.
