I am curious where you draw your line. We have all sorts of “machines that do the hard things for you”, do you shun them all? Cars, washing machines, lawnmowers, etc…

I know that AI has some different characteristics than those technologies, but my point is that I don’t think your issue is that does the hard things for you… there has to be something else going on.

I don’t know that washing machines have replaced understanding things on a deep level but if they have for you I’m very curious to hear how.

Another example of a machine that does the hard things for you that springs to mind is... a computer.

Are you this patronizing and condescending in the rest of your life?
