If you think AI writing is becoming excellent, that’s the SIGN you should STOP using AI for writing immediately.
The reason you think this is multifold, and no part of it is good.
1) AI is too agreeable (and sycophantic)
(Source)
2) This increases your dependence on it

3) Which leads not only to cognitive decline
(Source)
4) but cognitive surrender
(Source)
And as for the “I know how to use it, I’m in control” argument, that’s all BS. It’s an illusion because frequent use of AI BREAKS THE MOST RATIONAL OF THINKERS!

You might think you’re guiding it, but it’s brainwashing you to accept without question the same derivative cr@p it always spits out because that’s all it can do. Remember, just because the token size is large enough for the LLM to generate grammatically proper English 99.999% of the time, that doesn’t mean there’s any logic or meaning to what it generates!
And yes, the doctor saw all of this coming, as he understood early on exactly what LLMs were and were not. That’s why SI has had a formal NO AI policy (as well as a NO AI BS policy) for a long time now (and never used AI)!
(You have to remember that, as humans, there is a relatively significant chance we will end up using a nursing home at some point in our lives in North America, with some estimates now putting that chance over 50%, and an ever greater chance that when we end up there, it will be [partially] due to mental decline, dementia, and similar conditions. We’re also suffering population stagnation, if not decline, in most western countries. As a result, it’s in our best interest to do everything we can to keep our mental faculties about us for as long as we can, because there’s barely enough health care workers to care for those who already need care as it is. Think seriously about what’s going to happen if, en-masse, society goes all-in on technology that is essentially turning us into drooling mindless idiots and greatly increasing the chances we become unable to care for ourselves immediately upon entering retirement … )
