RE: Microsoft 365 can fuck off

Unfortunately for you, I think even the alternatives are going to be heading this way. I have a feeling eventually we are going to look at AI the same way people used to look at calculators back in the day. They didn't see the point and thought that a slide rule was just fine. I personally don't use AI, but I am willing to admit that there are some valid uses for it coming down the pike. Believe it or not, while I write pretty well here on Hive, if you met me in person, I don't do nearly so well trying to put thoughts and sentences on the fly, so you would likely consider me an idiot :)

Unfortunately for everyone I think, it's not going to end well.

I know you have touched on it in the past, but what is the ultimate scenario you see taking place? Is it mostly just lost jobs and lazy people or do you foresee other drawbacks that people aren't considering? As I said, I personally don't use AI that much. I dabble every now and then to see what people are talking about, but it's not something I would rely on for anything.

It's not just about jobs, it's about people forgetting how to do things like communicate effectively, write, figure and think from their head not AI, people losing human traits and personalities...the impact goes way further than lost jobs, although that's certainly happening...and that'll apply economic pressure, discontent, increased crime rate, mental health issues and so on which will increase pressure on governments through law enforcement and medical failures...which exacerbate the issues all over again compounding them. I think there's many factors besides these also. But that's just me, some people think it's awesome. Time will tell...it's already having effects though.

Thanks for the great explanation. I personally haven't thought about it that much to have considered all of those things. As I have said before, I struggle to communicate effectively anyway. Perhaps I won't be the only one before long!
