    We’re already at the point that many people post- millennials actively prefer AI, that preferencd increasing with younger age. They’re the new boomers consuming whatever information is placed in front of them with no corroboration, nuance or fact checking.

      I suspect the ones that prefer ai are like that for the same reason I preferred books.

        I think the ones you describe are on the fringes with mental health concerns, among others. The mainstream is just mashing the “easy button”.

      Well on paper using an LLM for customer support seems great. A service agent who is infinitely patient, doesn’t mind overlong support sessions, who is always polite? That’s sounds great. But real life isn’t like that, and the people who do prefer LLMs over people haven’t had the time to realize why LLMs aren’t up to the task yet. But that might change in a couple years.

        I don’t use AI search, use it for creating text, ask it to do things for me, or ask it questions. I actively avoid it. I actively distrust any AI search that automatically appears, and yes, I ABSOLUTELY verify facts and check sources when they’re presented to me or I make a good faith honest attempt at discussion. So yes, you’re correct, I don’t do those things. But nice attempt at an Appeal to Hypocrisy, dude.
