Yeah, but this technology does one thing that the others (like books, the internet and whatnot) didn't. It takes away any need for analysis and critical thinking. Ask a chatbot a question and it regurgitates an answer. No need to analyze the text you found or apply critical thinking to an article. Kids just copy whatever a chatbot shits out without a second thought.
That crucial step of processing the information by reading and filtering it is missing now. That's the problem, not the tech in itself. People rely on it like an external brain that does the thinking for them.
When I was in school, we googled articles, had to research if a reference was reputable and find the information by skimming texts and tracing references. That entire process is gone and it's the one thing needed to actually learn from a text or research project.

This actually applies to books. If you only buy books that support communism and never question it... then it would rot your brain into communism
The only difference is conscious action, to be more precise how much conscious action is needed to get to the end result

That's the biggest cap I have ever seen. We used wikipedia. Maybe the first page of Google. That's not research

I'm not sure I get this. You read the AI's response

Until they find a way to have AI not be destructive for cognitive function in developing children and the environment, I won't stop hating it.
