use of such tech decreases human intelligence by a point-blank nutshot. I detest AI no matter how desperate and """wiseass""" this abomination is trying to be
A lot. I use it now directly as a replacement for the question search engine if I want to clear up a doubt. I use it to count calories, to clear up stupid doubts, or to chat about something. For example, the most recent thing I asked was if a guard in the medieval era stopped working, or if he had a family. Another example: I asked him if "Satanism" exists. Fun fact: it doesn't. The closest thing is Luciferianism, but there is no religion that glorifies evil. Sometimes when we're discussing something with my friends or family, I ask chatgpt, and we have him as the final judge, haha.
It really has endless uses, for example for my LinkedIn photo, I sent it many photos of myself and asked it to make me with a white shirt and a white background and surprisingly it worked really well.
I use it often, because I have to, for work (i.e. Codex). I hate every second of it, and I literally feel my own intelligence and problem solving ability rot away day by day.
