    Yep.

    And after enough people can no longer actually critically think, well, now this shitty AI tech does actually win the Turing Test more broadly.

    Why try to clear the bar when you can just lower it instead?

    … Is it fair, at this point, to legitimately refer to humans that are massively dependant on AI for basic things… can we just call them NPCs?

    I am still amazed that no one knows how to get anywhere around… you know, the town or city they grew up in? Nobody can navigate without some kind of map app anymore.

      Haha I grew up before smartphones and GPS navigation was a thing, and I never could navigate well even with a map!
      GPS has actually been a godsend for me to learn to navigate my own city way better. Because I learn better routes in first try.

      Navigating is probably my weakest “skill” and is the joke of the family. If I have to go somewhere and it’s 30km, the joke is it’s 60km for me, because I always take “the long route”.

      But with GPS I’ve actually become better at it, even without using the GPS.

      They were NPCs before AI was invented.
