Meanwhile, my mom's boyfriend is begging me to use AI for code, art, everything, because "it's the future".
Another smarter human pointed this out and it stuck with me: the guys most hyped about AI are good at nothing and thus can't see how bad it is at everything. It's like the Gell-Mann Amnesia Effect.
That's exactly the problem. People who are too stupid to see that AI is actually pretty bad at everything it does think its a fucking genius and they wonder why we still pay people to do stuff. Sadly a LOT of stupid people are in positions of authority in our world.

Fucking high school teachers are teaching this.
And somehow making the next generation even dumber.
Its the next level of: "I don't need to remember things because Google can tell me."
Even I wasn't that dumb. This is because when I first started using the internet for actual reading I knew that websites would always be going down and some exist for only brief periods of time. While this is no longer the case for major sites, that mindset never left me. The internet can forget at times.
My country (Hungary) already has too many kids not wanting to learn languages, because Google Translate.
