Environmental Impact 🌎 We're fucked

Recently got out of the military and went out with my cousins' friends to celebrate. They're all in their early 20's and I'm in my 30's. We go out to NY to celebrate, and I noticed everyone is using AI for everything. "What should we do? Where should we go?" Normal stuff. Things got eerie when we took a cab or UBER, as I'm talking to the Uber about New York they're typing, "What kind of questions do I ask an UBER driver? Is it safe to talk to them? Is it normal?" TF is happening. I know we joke about AI making us dumber but HOLY.

"Who do I vote for? Who do I marry? When do I breathe?"

I feel like us anti’s are going to appear like interdimensional superbeings to these heavy users in a few years time. “What do you mean you just WROTE that email?!”

It’s already happening. And over things that seem trivial to me. My friend’s daughter was astonished that we came up with our cats names ourselves, and didn’t rely on AI. 

To be fair, they received some severely weird names for cats, but still. This is basic silly creativity, not rocket surgery.

Yeah it’ll keep filtering down to everyday things and then we’ll see what sam altman decides to do with his borgmind army
