Did the same apply when calculators came out? Or the Internet?
Except calculators are based on reality and have deterministic and reliable results lol
Edit: holy crap I would never have guessed this statement would make people wanna argue with me. I've never felt that my job is secure from the next generation more than I do now.
Yeah but we heard the same arguments when they came out. Nobody will learn math people will just get dumber. Then we heard the same with the Internet. It's but trustworthy. Wikipedia is all lies. Turns out they were great tools for learning.
Your point is a false equivalence. Just because people said the same thing doesn't mean a calculator and an LLM are equivalent in their accuracy as a tool.
I'm not talking about accuracy. The Internet isn't accurate and they said the same things about it. Either AI isn't going away. Remain a troglodyte or learn to master it to enhance what you can do. That's how I dealt with it in the past.
Lmao I use LLM powered tools in my work daily, I understand their limitations and stay within them so say what you will. I still think your comparison is dumb.
