Because sycophants keep saying it's going to take these jobs, eventually real scientists/researchers have to come in and show why the sycophants are wrong.

These guys are so full of shit hahahahaha

Fair enough I suppose. Shame the right wingers co-opted it.

Gamergate people always say this but I've never seen their actual complaints about games journalism. I did see them getting pissy about people like Anita Sarkeesian discussing feminism in games, though.

Idk if you've seen the digital foundry video but there are no settings on the steamdeck that make it perform comparably to the switch 2.

They probably will :)

Steamdeck is far less powerful than the switch 2.

Again, you're being reductive. My argument is not that we will stop practising critical thinking altogether, but that we will not need to practise it as often. Less practise always makes you worse at something. I do not need evidence for that as it is obvious.

I don't see a point to continuing this conversation if you keep reducing my argument to "nobody will think anymore".

I am glad you use AI for reasons that don't make you stupid, but I have seen how today's students are using it instead of using their brains. It's not good. We teach critical thinking in schools for a reason, because it's something that does not always come naturally, and these students are getting AI to do the work for them instead of learning how to think.

The people who were used to the oral tradition were right. Memorising things is good for your memory. No, I don't think people will stop thinking altogether (please don't be reductive like this lmao), just as people didn't stop remembering things. But people did get worse at remembering things. Just as people might get worse at applying critical thinking if they continually offload those processes to AI. We know that using tools makes us worse at whatever the tool automates, because without practice you become worse at things. This just hasn't really been a problem before as the tools generally make those things obselete.

You don't think it's possible that offloading thought to AI could make you worse at thinking? Has been the case with technology in the past, such as calculators making us worse at math (in our heads or on paper), but this time the thing you're losing practice in is... thought. This technology is different because it's aiming to automate thought itself.

What do the capitalists expect to happen once they automate all the physical jobs and all the desk jobs? Do they just expect us all to die?

They lobby extensively against UBI-type initiatives and god-forbid any actual communist/socialist change be suggested.

Do they want us to die?
