Among other things, in emotional level, this is especially true when using AI as a therapist. Not just our critical thinking but our engagement to our emotions is altered and dependent on AI.

This is such a fascinating and beautifully written article. I am against AI not just for its detrimental environmental impacts, the detrimental health and financial impacts of living near a data center, the intellectual property theft, the evil ways corporations and the cops/military utilize it, but also because the process of making anything creative is just as important as the final product. Being bad at a new hobby, having a creative block, and spending time on something, are so fundamentally human and things that should be appreciated rather than looked at as a waste of time.

I really loved in particular these 2 quotes from your post: "who is the self once the self gets outsourced to a machine" and "in a world where efficiency is the new capitalistic currency, I urge my readers to rebel against it". I am working on a PowerPoint presentation, and maybe eventually a YouTube video, to show to my loved ones who like to taunt me about my anti-AI stances why AI is not just harmless, and I will definitely be referencing and quoting this article ❤️
