This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

But in the actual boring real world AI doesn't make people more efficient. Studies show it makes people less efficient and ruins their ability to think critically and complete tasks they started assigning to the AI.
At the same time the data centres powering the AI suck huge amounts of energy and water to achieve the inefficiency and degradation of the work force's capability.
Arguably AI is creating jobs because inefficiencies in worker output now requires more workers to do the same amount of work. When I say worker output I am specifically referring to the output of office based workers, and even then this seems to be almost exclusively those in software engineering and management. There is little to no change to the output efficiency of trades at any level. Again arguably more work is available trades to help support the ever increasing data centres.
Got references to a few of them? I assume you do, because you must've read them.
nah sorry I didn't note down the links to them and CBF digging them up, it's cool if you don't believe they exist, you do you =)
I belive they exist, it's just the phrase "studies show that..." has become synonymus with "I've once saw a blogpost that..." or "that one Insta reel mentioned that..."
