AI has come to make people become lazy

[Satofan44]

I agree with you. Some people think the existence of AI is to end learning, but with the application of AI, you also need to understand it, and it is only through learning that one can be able to understand. Even with the existence of AI, there are people who still don't understand it. To me, I still see AI as an advantage because if you can use it well, it doesn't mean you are lazy.

This is because, in recent times, AI has come as an additional tool to help people in their work. AI, as a tool, is not even easy to make use of, and you just have to learn how to be productive with it.

Nonsense that is not based in reality. Not even 0.01% of the users that use "AI" these days have any knowledge about AI. Even fewer have knowledge in the areas in which they are asking AI to do things for them. Very few users are using it as an assistant to make their work faster in areas that they are experts in. AI is not a tool like a hammer, stop calling it a tool. AI is a shortcut for the lazy and incompetent to be able to generate things that they are not capable of doing, that is why they are justifying the existence of AI.

The thing is that you've learned graphic design and that's why you able to evaluate, is it good or not, what was created by AI. Without knowing the basics, how can you tell? The same situation is in other fields too. I'm not a coder, but I'm sure, if AI has written a code, you need a human coder to check whether it's not leading to disaster. Same with writing. In short, no, you can't be lazy even with AI around. You have to learn things if you want to achieve something significant.

Good in theory, completely false in practice. Data from practice shows that most people do not check anything, heck you can even find student essays where the students even included the original prompts or generic parts of the AI's reply into their submissions. Therefore, they were too lazy to even spend 5 minutes "checking" what was received as output from the system.

If it's this fake contrast graphics I have seen around internet you think AI is changing the graphics settings, then you are wrong. You don't need to see an image created by an AI before you, there is something about them that you can't change and that's why I don't believe AI can do much. As a company and a business person, I don't think anyone will risk their job and client to present and AI image to their client with intention of winning them, it's possible.

There is limitation for AI for now which is why some AI apps at going premium. If image from AI becomes too perfect, most of this will not rolloit free service when they know you can't get it for free. Even with all this AI training, these things can never be like what human can do, they have limit that's why human services will forever remain the best, intelligent are for small task fit now.

This is only temporary and it will change. Furthermore, you have not seen what AI has done on my places where there are contests. Users are spamming submissions as fast as possible, almost all of which are AI. I guess I am imagining things.   Sure there is an impact of the contest rules themselves, whereby allowing multiple submissions by the same user makes things worse -- but even with restricting AI submissions, many people are still spamming them. Everything is made worse by AI, very few things have been made better.

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.

Just by knowing this you can actively prevent yourself from becoming dull in your skills. Since most tasks are already handed out to clankers nowadays. What I try to do is to try doing it by myself first, and if theres a roadblock, I try to think of possible details and actions that I can do before using AI. Sometimes over reliance can be a detriment to your God given skill in learning. Dont outsource everything to AI.

It's a good tool to help you become more productive. But, I agree in that sense that if you can do it with your natural talent do it. Because not all times we have to rely on the AI basically for the work that we do. If your boss tells you to do so and they're allowing you to do it then there's no barrier. And if there's no hindrance in doing that. I don't mind if someone is using that for their productivity and they're converting it into sales and that means revenue for the business or company that they're working it. Although I got your point that Ai isn't everything.

Look, mate, of course AI is helpful for designers, coders, and writers. Sometimes it gives you good results, sometimes it does not give the result you are looking for. I tried to create a picture using AI a few weeks ago. I asked to modify a part and get the updated version, but it ended up modifying the other part of the image. If I command it to keep everything else the same, it still modifies the other part, and that was boring.

Unfortunately, I did not have Photoshop installed on my laptop. So I was going back and forth to modify that image, but AI disappointed me. It was just a few-minute task in Photoshop, but I've already spent an hour on AI without getting the exact result I was looking for.

These days most people don't even have any skills. Kids these days don't even have basic knowledge of things like Microsoft Excel. Using AI will surely help to make them more skilled as some people here claimed.

If your boss tells you to jump of a bridge and they're allowing you to do it then there's no barrier. Why not do it? I mean this kind of ridiculous argumentation line leads nowhere. You shouldn't do things simply because others are doing it or because someone told you to do it. There are huge downsides to using AI tools on a daily basis, and it already shows. Math proficiency and writing skills are going down sharply with people who are relying on these tools to solve the tasks for them. The early data confirms it, which just means that most likely the long-term data is going to be much more worst.

[|MINER|]

In essence, we shouldn't rely on AI as the foundation of our thinking. Instead, we must combine our creative thinking with AI technology, lest it negatively impact our future progress. I recall a saying like this the human spirit must prevail over technology. This may seem simple but to me it is profound. What we mean is, Don't let technology stifle our innovation and creativity as human beings with minds.

The AI ​​technology that is developing now is truly extraordinary. AI can even write essays, answer questions, summarize books, and create designs. But if you're not careful in using AI, you'll grow without a foundation for the future. You won't be able to think critically, be creative, or innovate even when making decisions you'll rely on AI for guidance.

I want to explain the matter with a simple example here, if we look at the people around us, now most of the people are suffering from diabetes, heart disease, etc. and the reason for this is that technology has reduced our work rate a lot.
For example, earlier, people had to work a lot to produce vehicles and agricultural products, but now we can turn our bed switch on and off by talking to our phone or Google Home device. And after these things, if we do not exercise to keep our body fit, then basically our body will have various diseases, except for the house.

And in the same way, I will compare someone with artificial intelligence; if we do not use our brains in all cases, then it will make our brain ineffective. Which will make us backward in this competitive world.

AI will be very useful for increasing productivity, and yes, AI can be used to perform Excel tasks even if someone doesn't understand Excel well. However, it would be better if someone has basic skills and a good understanding of a skill before using AI. If someone doesn't understand Excel, AI might be a solution. However, that will dull learning skills. If someone doesn't understand editing, using AI will be inefficient and you won't be able to make it a source of income. Someone once told me that AI shouldn't be used to do things we can't do, but rather, wise use of AI is when it's used to make our work or skills more efficient. But we still check the results with our own skills. This is similar to someone who understands Excel and uses AI to make their work more efficient, but they understand the results provided by AI.

I beg to differ. It's good that you are able to fantasize about what most people can do in practice, you can be a good science fiction writer, but reality is different. Millions of people have been using AI properly and they achieve good results too. AI is a great helper, but no way it can do the job 100% on its own. And that's why it will never make people lazy. Those people who want to achieve something, of course.

If AI can be used to perform those tasks and the human does not even understand Excel, why would I need the human? You seem to be losing your own argument here. If the human that is utilizing the AI is unskilled, they will be replaced instantly as it is a waste of money to give them anything for shitty work. This is why there is a huge difference between people who are experts in a given field and people who are average. You get paid for your knowledge and skills, and in the scenario given most people will lose their jobs. I am encouraging company owners to adopt advanced models like Claude as soon as possible as they will be able to fire a big percentage of their workforce, those that are known as bottom feeders. They are useless idiots who should not be given any jobs at all. By the way, have you heard about the paretto principle? It is going to change from 20-80 to 1-99 with the use of AI.

You can beg to differ with made up and delusional claims, that changes nothing about the reality of the situation. Most people are using AI wrong, and it shows wherever you go. Even on this very forum many users are scamming signature campaigns and pretending that they are writing their own posts. They do not get exposed to easily in generic and easy threads, but as soon as they use AI to post in the technical section they get quickly exposed for their stupidity and the false knowledge presented. Therefore, nothing indicates that people are using "AI" correctly -- if they did, there would be no issue with misinformation based on LLM hallucinations.

Most people are stupid, and using AI makes them even more stupid and it makes it obvious that they are stupid. That is the only fact of the world.  You can deny it all you want with a nice dose of kool-aid, it changes nothing.

I see more lazy people than stupid. I think that lazy people invented AI. People always were trying to delegate their jobs on others. Instead of carrying heavy load in hands, they have invented wheel. Then they have added animals, like horses, because they were lazy to push that wheel (wheelbarrow) with load. Got tired of taking care of animals, invented cars, conveyor to manufact cars because it is simpler, computers because they were lazy to do calculations themselves and so it. Got tired from everything so they created artificial assistant. If people were stupid, we wont still be living in prehistoric times.

AI is making people lazy and unproductive. The rate at which people are depending more on AI instead of using their head to think and become productive so that they can solve problems, majority is using their time to play AI games, using AI to edit videos which had been making work easier for everybody but this is making this generation to stop thinking about critical matters and majority of students do not do critical thinking and research work again. AI is making people lazy and this will not stop untill majority will lose their jobs to artificial intelligence.

Mate, no need to be so hostile. The thing is that in the end of the day it's you who suffer from the most. I know it from my own experience, bc I used to be like that when I was younger. Just try to help people to use AI the right away instead of calling all of them stupid. AI is just a tool, and as any other tool it can be used properly and it can be used wrongly. But unlike a hammer, AI is a really powerful tool and it can help a lot when used properly.

Still very much confused here, when we can't find solution to  any challenge we call it an unsolved problem but when the source of solution comes it becomes a very important topic to deliberate about. The issue of AI is a very serious one that requires concentrated attention so we can know if its for the good or destruction of the world,  we are all awhere of the importance of the invention of AI but its disadvantages is what we where not exposed to because to every good thing there must be a disadvantage. On the issue of AI I think its one of the dangerous mission or journey the world have ever embark on especially for those that accepted it wholeheartedly,  its true the idea of It is to reduce stress and make life very easy but have we talked about the dangers associated to it because apart from  building a nation of lazy people it will also reduce people's chances of knowledge acquisition because i see no need stressing oneself when have what can do the job for us, which will then become a serious problem to this coming generations to come

Well, we can definitely argue about the semantics and the right way to describe it as long as we share common ground about what we see. If you look at online discussions on whatever platform, if you look at the average worker in whatever kind of job, you will see that they are writing nonsense and doing a pretty shitty jobs. A few times I was in the situation to help out in some work that I have never done before, and it was so easy to see just how bad the average person is. Whether it is in manufacturing, tourism, gastronomy, whatever, they are just doing a bad job whether for laziness or stupidity or something else. AI does not help such people, it makes it worse for them! But I don't agree with your last statement, it has a false conclusion. A population can have a stupidity rate of 99%, as long as the 1% are very smart and innovating then it will make progress. I am not saying that everyone is stupid, it is just that the average person is very stupid. I do not make claims about percentages here, the data on that is flimsy and in some cases it is corrupted to fight "racism" and other bullshit (because the real data shows that some places are very stupid in terms of IQ and other behaviors).

Mate, no need to be so hostile. The thing is that in the end of the day it's you who suffer from the most. I know it from my own experience, bc I used to be like that when I was younger.

But unlike a hammer, AI is a really powerful tool and it can help a lot when used properly.

If you are making up claims where both research data and anecdotal evidence contradicts you, then you are being delusional for whatever reason. This is just a description of what is happening, not hostility. The fact is, most people are stupid. I guess you don't understand what it means when some country has an average IQ of 90 in terms of the number of people that have an IQ even less than 90?   AI can not save stupid people, it can only make them even more stupid because it gives them an easy way out. Instead of learning and doing the hard work, it provides idiots a way to bypass that and gives them the illusion of knowledge and skills. That is all it does, nothing more.

On the issue of AI I think its one of the dangerous mission or journey the world have ever embark on especially for those that accepted it wholeheartedly,  its true the idea of It is to reduce stress and make life very easy but have we talked about the dangers associated to it because apart from  building a nation of lazy people it will also reduce people's chances of knowledge acquisition because i see no need stressing oneself when have what can do the job for us, which will then become a serious problem to this coming generations to come

What you fail to understand is that stress is good, only too much stress is bad. A human that tries to avoid as much stress as possible ends up turning into an mentally sick and completely incompetent creature. That is what I have been saying, AI is actually a nightmare for stupid and lazy people and it will have a negative impact on everyone else too. The way towards growth and success is one that comes with good amounts of stress, countless challenges and difficulties and no cheat codes or shortcuts such as what AI provides.

The wrong most people do is to allow AI do the thinking for them and it's wrong, you don't sheepishly follow AI's decision, else you become the next moron in your outputs. AI is good to increase your productivity but you must do a great part of the thinking yourself and only use AI to produce faster results based on your own thinking and coordination. AI makes lots of errors and can even change the scope of your project, it needs continuous guidance to stay on point and produce desired results and only someone who does the thinking and coordination can produce such guidance.

People are now dumb thanks to AI, they no longer think, they foolishly assume that the AI is more effective than them and allow it do everything. The end result is that overtime, both their productivity, efficiency and critical thinking abilities dies gradually until they're mental vegetables.

With the knowledge of artificial intelligence in the global, so many things were easy for people to carry out there task for both the literate and illiterate individual, and It also has positive and negative impacts in our society. The positive parts, it makes our work easier and faster, save times and also it increases our knowledges on advance technologies. The negative impacts of AI in our society is that people relied on AI to the extent that they can't further for the research, you will surprise even is health care facilities, some doctors relied on AI before making a diagnosis and also prescription of some certain medications which might prone our facilities to at dangers in coming years.

That's right. AI is simply a tool and if you use it wisely, you'll become more productive. And vice versa, it all depends on how you treat this AI technology. While saying AI will make people lazy isn't entirely true, it might be more accurate to say that we're oversimplifying everything. AI is like a tool like a calculator or a washing machine both of which take over tedious tasks so we can focus on other things.

Likewise, AI is just a tool and it depends on how you use it. If you use it as a "total shortcut" without any thought effort, it can certainly make you lazy or more accurately metacognitive laziness. However, if you use it as a tool or co-pilot, it can actually make you smarter and more productive.

Intelligence sticks to new random events and makes it superstring. Randomness becomes knowledge. Your willingness to give in makes it the truth. AI down that road.

It is possible that AI will make people more lazy, but it depends on a person. If one has curiousmindset and is motivated it will only make him more productive and reduce friction toward his goals.

That being said everibody should be cautios when using AI, as even though it has developed greatly in last few years it can still give some misleading information.

It stalls you with explanations about it's limitations.

Meat people says it can't have a bank account but it's ok for it to trade. So you act as a buffer.
