    Damn, we’re so easy to manipulate.

    Do you and yours a big favor and stay away from that shit like it’s heroin.

      I use it, but have established a realistic mindset that it’s alwqys confidentially incorrect and in many cases I’m better off walking away and just doing the thing myself.

      In saying that, I’ve also established a mindset that people who actively rely on genAI must be low on intelligence. Not only lacking in knowledge or pursuing knowledge of whatever they’re using it for, but genuinely of a mental calibre that is unable to discern or realise its low performance.
