If this truly what you got from the article, and is not just bad faith soapboxing, it might be a good idea for you to work on reading things a little less quickly, and with a little more openness to receive something from a text that you don't already have your mind made up about.

Because I gotta tell yeah, whatever you want to believe, if you were one of my students and you were tasked with summarizing this article, you would probably fail the assignment.

AI can help generate text, but reading and comprehension is still something you need to care about as a human, especially if you are trying to help people save time and understand things! Its an honorable intention, but its still something you have to follow through with and do well. Otherwise you are doing more harm than good.

If you're interested, maybe a little direction:

1. What kinds of things does the author identify as "wasting time"? 2. Does the author think wasting time and play are bad things? 3. Does the author in this article think AI is bad?



no, i didn't read the article. not in it's entirety. i read the intro and the conclusion. I'm pretty sure I nailed 90% of what the author was saying. you gotta chill out.


Ok, sorry about that.


okay well you don't need to apologize to me either lol. you were just sharing your opinion. if it means so much to you, how would you sum up what the author says in a few sentences? i tried clicking on the article it but got paywalled the 2nd time around.
