AI has come to make people become lazy

[Satofan44]

"Without stress". A lot of work is going on there for that phrase. Because yeah, learning is stressful. Creating is stressful. Struggling with something difficult is uncomfortable by definition. But is stress free consumption really what man needs? Or do we need the friction? There's research to suggest that humans need a challenge to make them feel alive. Not constant suffering, but of experiencing the process of working towards something, of becoming competent at something that was once hard.

Maybe we get better outputs yeah. But do we get better humans? Do we get to people who know themselves, who have confidence in their own capabilities, who know that they have the capacity to affect the world directly?

Or do we just get real efficient consumers?

There is no learning or growth involved without stress, anyone who believes otherwise is foolishly naive and lazy. There is no going around it. It is usually people who are stupid, fat, or poor that are envious of the people that are very active. You can think about this from any angle that you want. When it comes both to physical or mental progress, the gains are centered in stressful environments. If you are doing anything such a physics or mathematics that are very easy for you, and there is no stress involved, then you are not really learning anything significant. Most of humanity's progress comes from dealing with the most difficult, and often most stressful, problems. All this AI stuff will lead to the same things that smart IOT devices did, it creates much dumber consumers that don't know how to change a simple light bulb.

Anybody use ebay lately?  If so, have you read sellers' descriptions of their items for sale?  It's the most idiotic system I've ever seen--ebay gives sellers AI tools to write those descriptions for them, and so often they describe what's for sale in the most general terms you can think of; nothing about the condition or things a buyer would really want to know when they're going to be purchasing something from a stranger.

And on top of that, ebay's recommendation to sellers (so as not to have a bunch of returns ending up on their doorstep) is to describe items for sale in as much detail as possible.  The two things aren't compatible, and yeah AI has made a LOT of ebay sellers lazier than I thought possible.

Seems like we've barely even gotten started with AI, too.  Ugh.

Everything is broken since the arrival of AI slop. Wherever you look you can find this. Most YouTube comments are now AI slop often upvoted by bots, most posts on Reddit, X, and so forth. Marketplaces are ruined, freelance platforms are ruined, any kind of contest is full of AI entries and so forth. Who would have guessed that giving stupid humans the ability to generate content that is of higher quality or that fosters laziness would turn the world to shit? Right? Nobody predicted that?

Every development has it unique and what may seem demerit before the users, we as human strive for the easiest means or ways of survival without stress, it may be of demerit to some who have channel much energy in graphics because many who have gotten the perfect usage of this AI will no longer be if patronage because what they demand their services can be easily been achieved with AI, as technology keeps advancing more that will defeats the currently use AI is given more beauty and clear pictures will come in and that will leads some past technology to look abdated.

If you generate anything with AI, it will give you standard and artificial results. But when you get that work done by an expert or you do it yourself, you will get creative results that cannot be given by AI. But the programs in AI are created by humans. What is developed by humans cannot be as creative as humans. That is why big companies still do not use anything AI generated. AI may be being used a lot for our personal work, but the importance of our creativity will always exist.

If you see it from a narrow's point of view, it will only create lazy people. But if you see it from a deeper point of view, AI is giving us the advantage of versatility where we can enhance efficiency and productivity, and change the nature of how we work and live.

Wit this, AI has made us well-equipped and become more positive and productive in life.

[Abiky]

I was using one of the AI tools to do some graphic design and it came out so beautiful as a result. I was very happy with the result I got through AI because creating it, it wasn't stressful and the result was productive.

Normally, if you give me a computer device to do graphic design I wont be able to perform it better but with AI it was success. Since AI can give me good graphic design, I dont think it will have that urge to go learn graphic design.  I think AI already have the result of what people are supposed to do with their hands. There wont be reason to learn or to work because AI can give people what they want without stress.

Impressive, isn't it? Yet, AI isn't "perfect" enough to replace human artists and/or graphic designers. It makes minimal mistakes than can be easily noticed by taking a closer look to the generated art. In the future, AI will improve to a point where it's perfect. It might also become self-conscious.

I agree that a tech like AI will make people more lazy. I mean, who's going to learn how to become an artist/painter/graphic designer these days? AI is even capable of writing code all by itself. So even programmers/developers/ would be at risk of losing their job. People want convenience, so they will prefer AI to do everything for them, instead of doing it the "old-fashioned" way. When the moment of crisis comes (sudden lack of electricity/Internet access), that's when you'll see people regretting themselves not having learnt how to do things all by themselves. I hope AI remains an alternative than a replacement for most human jobs/careers. We'll see what happens in the long run.

In this era the inflation at its peak, everyone has shortage of time, if they stop running then they die out of hunger except a few percent of elites who are not effected by inflation even if the sky come to earth they are safe. So, I think it’s better for a middle class people to use AI in order to get something easily as it might be costly outside of AI.

Yesterday I had a problem of my application portal for my visa and I connected with 2 professionals but AI give me the better answer than them. For some specific field, AI might have made people lazy but for most other people, AI is highly helpful and effective.

[Maslate]

If AI has come to make people lazy, then so be it. At least, we are now living a less stressful, yet more comfortable life. We are now making less task, yet the outcome is almost perfect, thanks to AI where it almost give us high satisfaction in life.

However, this isn't the goal of AI, this isn't what AI wanted us to become.

Instead, AI wanted us to experience this high technology for automation and efficiency, manage wise decision making, and improved daily life and personalization. That's why AI should be managed well and should be given positive outlook rather than looking it as a threat to people.

In order for AI to do a “great job,” it needs to... LEARN. There is no intelligence there, only a database of knowledge and a large language model. When everyone stops learning and everyone starts creating AI, the degradation of models and knowledge will begin. The reason is simple: information generated by AI will always be slightly hallucinatory.
 This process will overlap and intensify, and after a relatively short time, the models will start to produce complete nonsense, and there will be no more stories about beautiful designs

[Russlenat]

Looks like people will be more lazy in the next years to come since its certain to us that the technology will not stop from growing and innovating, and will not stop from providing us real satisfaction in life. So I'm okay with it, but it does not mean that we should turn to lazy people subjectively, but being lazy in the sense that we don't have to exert efforts beyond our limits since it won't be healthy at all.

AI is a gift to us that made us to live a more meaningful life, but never a reason to make us lazy and train us to be highly dependent to others because it won't be good at all.

[Miles2006]

Suppose you didn’t get the right result I guess AI will be blamed for it, now AI helped in making a stress free design which I find appropriate. If people choose to become lazy then that’s their fault not AI, you can still build your knowledge to an extend without wanting AI technology for example people still learn graphic design and all other stuff depending on their area of concentration. I think the idea of AI was never to make anyone lazy or take human job instead it stands as a helping hand and we should not mistake it for some other reason, just don’t get things complicated.

[Ryu_Ar1]

If that is the initial assumption, then we will probably continue to be negatively stigmatized forever without being able to take advantage of the situation.

Currently, technology is getting more and more sophisticated and the innovations that AI provides today do make it easier for us to do things that originally took time to do and it is a fact that with the existence of AI, time, ways of working and even for those who do it can be more efficient.

Laziness may only occur for those who are lazy and this condition will not be said to be lazy for those who are able to make benefits from this.
I would not say that I am lazy when I am assisted by AI when it comes to work because for me it makes it easier for me to get the job done but there may always be other views on this especially when we talk about AI destroying human jobs as has always been discussed since the beginning of AI then everyone's views will definitely be different. But to say this will make humans lazy I would not agree with that.

Nonsensical bullshit by a delusional and uneducated idiot. This "AI" already generates better output and results than most of your "experts". The people who you consider experts are most often very mediocre and overpaid idiots. Looking forward when AI sweeps the floor with wannabe artists and experts. 

If you see it from a narrow's point of view, it will only create lazy people. But if you see it from a deeper point of view, AI is giving us the advantage of versatility where we can enhance efficiency and productivity, and change the nature of how we work and live.

Delusional and false nonsense once again. How many children know how to use a calculator on a smartphone or ask ChatGPT for a solution? At the same time, most of them are not even able to do simple calculations such as those that relate to percentages. Clearly it is making them much smarter and gives them a better capacity to deal with complex tasks. 

Impressive, isn't it? Yet, AI isn't "perfect" enough to replace human artists and/or graphic designers. It makes minimal mistakes than can be easily noticed by taking a closer look to the generated art. In the future, AI will improve to a point where it's perfect. It might also become self-conscious.

I agree that a tech like AI will make people more lazy. I mean, who's going to learn how to become an artist/painter/graphic designer these days?

Design work will fall soon, since excellent quality level designs require a lot of work and "AI models" can create any number (up to computational limits) of such art in a very short period of time. Those that are being picky and unnecessarily focusing the flaws of "AI" of today are just delusional idiots, those that listen to CNN like it is the source of the modern day gospel.

AI is even capable of writing code all by itself. So even programmers/developers/ would be at risk of losing their job. People want convenience, so they will prefer AI to do everything for them, instead of doing it the "old-fashioned" way.

It is, but not on a level as you think. It is limited to small projects, anything medium or large and it will create a complete mess with countless issues. At the current state, nobody should be talking about AI having the ability to code on its own. It should be more seen as an excellent assistant to the engineer, and if the engineer is extremely skilled then the boost in productivity will be enormous. If the engineer is average, or worse if he is bad at his job, using AI will get him to produce even worse code.

When the moment of crisis comes (sudden lack of electricity/Internet access), that's when you'll see people regretting themselves not having learnt how to do things all by themselves. I hope AI remains an alternative than a replacement for most human jobs/careers. We'll see what happens in the long run.

You've used a terrible connection here, AI has nothing to do with this. How am I going to write code anyway if there is no electricity or internet access?

It will or it has already created! 

Have you seen recent academic thesis of universities? Many professors are complaining that their students are no longer interested in the traditional research anymore, they have complaint and even launch some annual lectures to educate other lecturers about the abuse of AI and how student doesn't want to do research again but there has not been any positive results, now that there are many AI softwares, the detection is getting harder and harder to see.

Imagine that in the next 10 years we had more medical doctors that pass exams with AI and not do research on the things they were supposed to do. We are going to end up with a society of brain damage people. Fun fact, we might not have reliable source of information since AI depend on Google and some other source of information to compile result for users that want to use AI for quick information.

[Juicyhome]

AI has make people becoming more productive and smart, AI is developed by men to help mankind be more productive at work. I don't see any negative effect of AI. The world is evolving everyday and human energy can't match it , with AI man can be more productive and serve the universe better. AI can't perform a task without man so it's still under man control , just that is doing what man supposed do in weeks in few seconds.  We should all embrace AI with a positive mind.

[macson]

AI can actually help people if they understand how to use it, but for people who are inherently lazy, they will rely on AI to do everything they need, even the simplest things. For example, in this forum, all people need to do is write, but some people are so lazy they copy and paste entire threads into the chatbox and then let AI generate replies for them.

So, in this case, it's not AI that makes people lazy, but rather the people who are inherently lazy and want everything instant.

Technically, the advancements of technology has made a lot of things faster and easier, but under contrary some people are actually taking that same advantage to misuse it. People are becoming more smarter and they are willing to adapt as the world continues to evolved, is not about laziness or being lazy. But this is also a great opportunity for people to make the right decisions, create a leisure time, and engage themselves in some leisure activities and also prioritise their health at the same time. Artificial intelligence is very advantageous to humans, because due to lesser work, they are will be able to address their mental health issues.

[passwordnow]

As they say, "if life gives you lemons, make lemonades". And this is what's happening, people think that AI ends everything. But no, it only creates new opportunities where we can utilize it for our benefits. If someone has already given up because of it, they're not fighters and just accepting defeat. But that's okay if it's temporary and you'll be back later on to understand in which things AI can help in utilization and how it can make you skillful about it. Companies which are using it are paying less than the common human worker so the challenge is there but it doesn't end everything.

AI wasn't invented to make people to become lazy no the idea behind the invention of AI was to make every work faster and stress free just like you sighted but humans now forget to work because they depend on AI for everything even the things they can handle they now depend of AI to get the job done they no longer make use of their skills nor brain to think of things to do. For graphic designs, Ai gets it down better than humans but humans can improve their efficiency using AI learn more then after learning they can focus more on doing it without depending on AI. Time is coming when humans will lose their jobs if they keep depending on AI because not doing your job cen make you forget everything you have learnt and that becomes a real problem since everyone will be using AI instead of paying someone who can't do a good job.

I did the same thing using AI. Some time ago, I wanted to change the atmosphere in my small restaurant by changing the layout and decor. i usually think about it for a long time, start drawing, and keep changing things, which usually takes quite a long time. but I tried using AI, and I just took photos of the rooms I wanted to redesign. and the results were amazing. Actually, it didn't make me lazy at all. It just made things easier and more efficient. But in the long run, maybe it could make us lazier.

The difference between my or your posts in this threads and most other users who are complete shitposters is funny. They are just agreeing to whatever nonsense is being proposed here. You can see many of them right after your response, and I will reply to some of them in this post too. You can see just how "smart" these tools make people perfectly well in the academic world, but even in elementary and high schools. In the most early days there were countless examples of people submitting essays where they copied the whole thing without even reading it. Sometimes they copied even the prompt, but otherwise often it included some introductory "AI" response where it tells you that it can or will do what you are asking it to do. So you have a mixture of both lazy and stupid, that is what tools like this do to most people. If you are going to cheat, at least put effort in not getting caught otherwise you are just as dumb as any other person.

It doesn't do anything of what you wrote. You wrote a generic shitpost that has no basis in reality.

It is not heroin that makes people addicted, it is the person's inherent susceptibility to addiction that makes them addicted. Got it, it sounds absolutely true. 

AI wasn't invented to make people to become lazy

It does not matter at all what it was intended for, all that matters is what it really does.

[Rockstarguy]

Funny enough some people are repelling AI that it is making humanity lazy.
But they forgot that the lazy humans will be the ones that has refused to learn different AI tools and update themselves.
I will never be in the war against AI because AI is a life saver.
It is only in the forum like this where we will like all conversations to be humanly and not artificially generated.

Op, if your design went well with AI, learn how to make AI make it more beautiful and not going back to the analogue way.

I think people are just making a lot of excuses about this AI thing. AI doesn't stop anyone from acquiring knowledge, but people just choose to be lazy. Even with the presence of AI, people are still lazy about how to use AI tools effectively; this is something that one doesn't need to spend so much time and effort on to obtain a result.

I think we are in a world where we have AI to reduce the workload, but it is still very difficult for some people to use AI tools in generating good results when it comes to creativity. If anyone is using AI for creative things that have value, I don't think that is laziness.
