Why exercise when you can get a computer to play a video of someone else exercising? Because doing it yourself strengthens you.

I like reading and writing. I am not going to outsource those activities to AI.

I had to laugh at the image of someone watching someone else exercise...

That’s a great argument, and it applies everywhere really. People will use AI for boring tasks and it will hopefully reduce bureaucracy.

Watched 2001 a Space Odyssey and 2010 The Year we Made Contact recently and it portrays AI beautifully.

Thanks for the comment. I am putting 2001 A Space Odyssey and 2010: The Year We Made Contact on my watch list!

Good points. Plus, if you don't understand the process, you can't confidently repeat it with other works. You're stuck at start mode.

Good point, Sarah. It's nice when the process starts to feel automatic or natural.

Agree! AI in the right hands of its creators could enlarge us all (it’s not in the right hands now - greed and insufferable arrogance are the exact wrong ways to advance the best in civilization) And giving the soul of writing away to a soulless machine? Rage against this night! 😉

And many AI users don't even realize they are using AI...
