Instead of desperately clinging to excuses and rationalizations, why don’t you just get used to the fact that these tools are insanely useful for demanding intellectual work, and that is an opinion held by many of the smartest people alive?
I won't because it's all so opaque and proprietary and driven by an insane need for OpenAI and Anthropic to provide a return on MASSIVE investment. There is absolutely some smoke and mirrors involved. How much? We don't know. But it sure is exciting to imagine their product is now smarter than humans and they are totally benevolent corporations. I want that to be true as much as anyone, but I have lived too long on this earth to believe it wholeheartedly
