Pitching idea: a Chucky movie where Chucky discovers his Irish roots and moves to Ireland to try and win back the 6 stolen counties. It's called Chuckaidh ár lá.

The Impact of Generative AI on Critical Thinking: Self-Reported Reductions in Cognitive Effort and Confidence Effects From a Survey of Knowledge Workers www.microsoft.com/en-us/resear... using genAI reduces a person’s cognitive efforts and critical thinking, findings from Microsoft Research

7 Conclusion
We surveyed 319 knowledge workers who use GenAI tools (e.g.,
ChatGPT, Copilot) at work at least once per week, to model how
they enact critical thinking when using GenAI tools, and how GenAI
affects their perceived effort of thinking critically. Analysing 936
real-world GenAI tool use examples our participants shared, we
find that knowledge workers engage in critical thinking primarily
to ensure the quality of their work, e.g. by verifying outputs against
external sources. Moreover, while GenAI can improve worker effi-
ciency, it can inhibit critical engagement with work and can poten-
tially lead to long-term overreliance on the tool and diminished skill
for independent problem-solving. Higher confidence in GenAI’s
ability to perform a task is related to less critical thinking effort.
When using GenAI tools, the effort invested in critical thinking
shifts from information gathering to information verification; from
problem-solving to AI response integration; and from task execu-
tion to task stewardship. Knowledge workers face new challenges
in critical thinking as they incorporate GenAI into their knowledge
workflows. To that end, our work suggests that GenAI tools need
to be designed to support knowledge workers’ critical thinking by
addressing their awareness, motivation, and ability barriers

The other big problem with using generative AI to help you write is that it makes you a huge fuckin loser

I'm deeply troubled by this proposal, which feeds a bunch of copyright laws that protect intellectual property into the shredder, I think it's short sighted and outright encouraging criminality and theft - I'm emailing my MP this afternoon

so, go ahead & scoff but *do* take them seriously. they mean it. rufo, hanania, musk, alliance defending freedom, SEGM, & their friends at the NYT, the atlantic, the guardian already got a lot of folks in the bobsled of “some humans are less human & icky & we can all agree they shouldn’t exist.”

I wrote something brand new for the first time since October 2021. I'd be happy but it's pretty shit and it came back from the beta reader with a staggering 102 comments. (It's a 4-page short story) 🤡

Lose all respect for groups or organisations using AI generated imagery. The lack of imagination, the devaluing of art and photography, the corner-cutting and cheapness of it. Would rather have photos of coddle stapled to my eyeballs.

Their reply to the question about the impact on the livelihoods of people in the industry is as disgusting (and evasive) as one would have imagined.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off (the) shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.
