No that’s not the same thing. It’s the difference between looking up how to do something and having it done for you.

There have been multiple articles recently that show AI weakens skills.

Btw there’s no need to add strawman arguments with scenarios I didn’t mention.

The bigger problem is that your skills are weakened a bit every time you use an assistant to write code.

I like how Riker is sitting. I think it qualifies as manspreading.

That would be telling

Ok this bugs me too.

One of the themes of Star Trek is that humans moved on from the greed and violence of the past. This is due to two things:

• There was a nuclear war that wiped out almost everything and that taught a lesson.
• Society is post scarcity. Due to replicators, anyone can have anything they want.

I’m skeptical of the first one because in history there have been several wars that wiped out almost everything and people go back to their old ways in a generation.

I’m even more skeptical of the second one. Frankly, we are basically post scarcity now. The whole world could easily be fed and housed with our current tech. But they just aren’t because of greed and hoarding.

You can bet that if replicators were invented tomorrow they would all be hogged by Musk and Bezos and Putin.

Boy, I say boy, you got so many pins in your head I’m gonna use it to make some string art.
