At a certain point, technologt and crutches like calculator and ChatGPT will domesticate humans.
We will become so used to the help these devices provide that we will no longer be able to live without them.
We will be like the tiny toy dogs that could never live in the wild without human help.

You are not exploring gpt 4 far enough.
Give it this prompt and a text of your choosing for it to play with.
-----
For the text bellow show me a formal, a semi-formal and informal version, each version has to be in 3 styles based on different famous authors ( you can modify this prompt for any authors or types of authors)
---------
So it will make it much harder to guess this is from a.i like you think it is

There is no way I can make my own edutainment games out of it by giving it a college textbook and asking it to design a jRPG out of it.

Yeah, people burning other people for witchcraft were the gods of reason, and the tools that make research more accessible and easier to do dumbed us down so much.
Ironically, the notion of how humans are getting dumber than in old good times IS the exact problem it is trying to address. We humans are extremely biased, scared of any change and are addicted to feeding our ego with nonsense to feel like we are better than the others.

They didn't allow calculators in school until I was 16, and then only in Science class, we still had to do everything by hand in Maths, And they were forbidden in tests until college - I still have my slipstick from like 1975. Now when I do mental arithmetic in the checkout line it's like I'm freaking Gandalf.

They were right.
Shit ton of people, vast majority of them, can't do basic math.

That looks like 1968, weren't calculators already widely used by 1988?

Sometimes ChatGPT will come out with a phrase or sentence that is directly insertable into my writing, either because it is more succinct or more complete, or both, than what I could come up with organically. And I think if you use it in this way (only taking a select few sentences where applicable) then it is pretty much undetectable. But on the other hand, it’ll sometimes spit out nonsensical ideas or illogical arguments, and the diction is pretty obvious in the context of the entire answer, so you really can’t just copy and paste the entire response.
I basically just see it as an accelerator for my own thinking, rather than a replacement for it. I find that it produces additional trains of thought that I may have not considered and gives me a basic understanding of concepts that I’ll dive deeper into.

I mean if children CAN use chatgpt to form ful sentences when they aren't expected to form full sentences on their own is over achieving, isn't it? I'd agree school system not giving them credit for it but as a potential parent id full on commend them.

I've taught kids and I've been using ChatGPT for my own stuff a lot lately.
It's great to supplement your work by fixing grammar, spelling, and maybe even economizing your words. But it's incredibly obvious when it's been used. I think any half decent teacher/professor will be able to distinguish its use in regard to plagiarism vs its use in regard to assistance - the latter of which I think should be acceptable and possibly even encouraged.

There have been tries, definitely. I can not find proper keywords though. Again the optimization task minimizing loss to the current prompt :)))

This is Fordism applied to semantic compacity :-)
Maximum compacity will be achieved with the longest prompt chain.
The smallest “atomic thought step” will maximize the number of prompts for a given problem.

Well doesn't it work that way for obvious reasons? Calculators were banned for us until college.

Yes, because I overreacted, but you also edited and removed the part of your comment where you called me an idiot.
Chill, hun… it’s only the singularity. 🦾

Yup, thanks to reddit's API this is what he said before the edit:
>Luddites are fascist. The AI revolution cannot be stopped.
The singularity will save us all.

Teachers what to ban ChatGPT?
No, I guarantee you, 90% of teachers have never heard of charity.

Awesome thanks.
Have people seen this applied to data storage for LLMs?

Well, point is:
They were right.
Current situation of having both highly educated and completely illiterate/useless adults is a direct result of this intellectual off loading…
What did people think? That not knowing how to add integers would allow students more time to learn Set theory? No, it was just a way to inflate the grades.
