That’s very much it. I get having a thinking partner, but I worry about both people outsourcing too much (risking inaccuracy and losing their own voice), and about who’s work is being leveraged without recompense. I like the meme that says something like “AI getting to do the painting, poetry, and music while humans work for minimum wage isn’t the future vision I signed up for”.

Like you, I refuse to use these tools for creation or ideas and have these turned off. I’m now exploring creative writing and I’m amazed how many people are using AI to generate book ideas or just to write their text. It’s disconcerting. They’ve outsourced their thinking and writing to the bots meaning that those who do use their own brain power will, over time, be in the minority.

Then, over time, you’d start to wonder what’s the point of doing anything if the sense of thinking, planning, reflecting, idea generating is out of our hands?

Not sure which tool I’d cite, though.
