minus-squareLordMayor@piefed.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up19·5 hours agoTalk about putting the cart before the fucking horse. Calling them “cognitive amplifier tools” doesn’t make them “cognitive amplifier tools”. They’ve yet to show that they do anything of the sort. Spitting out some basic code that probably has to be edited anyway is not a “cognitive amplifier tool”. Generating smooth skinned avatars with questionable anatomy is not a “cognitive amplifier tool”. Writing creepy, repetitive prose is not a “cognitive amplifier tool”. Hell, the term “cognitive amplifier tool” is just nonsense anyway. For fuck’s sake, I hate these people.
