    One of the more overlooked (but no less insidious) aspects of AI is its purpose to deskill the workforce. Workers are much easier to exploit if they no longer know how to code, design, engineer, write, or even think. Labor has much less power without skill.

      @benlockwood Saw a study (I think it was from the UK) that showed deskilling in doctors who use AI diagnostic tools.

      Deeply troubling.

        @benlockwood
        All computer programs do that. Computer programs have two jobs: Let's a person do more things, meaning we need fewer of that person, or let a dumber person do the same thing, meaning we can hire cheaper.

        AI is more insidious. It normalizes opinions. In the end, we all chat with the same person. Not the same conversation, just the same smart guy. Imagine there was Bob and we somehow always sit next to him in the train. All of us. Always. Bob would have massive influence.
