What are you referring to? ...
I mean, do you remember to the phone number of someone, if the smartphone
isn't available.

In general, that's will be the industrial change as you can see everywhere.
Because your brain works ...
Not necessary at all. See the change from handcraft to automated production.
And this happens at the moment. Believe me, the solutions are getting
better.

I'm not a fan of any of this, but we won't be able to stop it.

I see it in a lot of things where I'm asking ChatGPT or Aria, no matter what
the topic.
(Choose the best proposal of both, Aria delivered here the better SQL
solution)

Why should I get wounded fingers of typing when the system can do for me?

Because your brain works while typing. You become accustomed to your own
code and obtain a more intimate knowledge what's going on, and quickly
navigate to potential buggy areas. See also Buck's comment about someone
else's code.

There's a certain balance between reasonable laziness and excellence in a
given area of expertise. Believing in AI to "think" for us is not helping to
know how to think ourselves and thus stay agile in our brains. It's a bit
like body muscles get thinner and weaker when not used.

But, who can remember the phone numbers in the smartphone?

What are you referring to? There's a database called "phone book" which
translates names to those numbers ever since in smartphones. What's your
point? I can't connect this to "AI", or more precise, ML.

With AI we are on the best way to do the same with our knowledge.

Looking at humanity's history, I assert we might become lazy thinking
ourselves and forget how to think in the long run. Knowledge fades away,
because it's not needed to be known anymore. Hey but what can be possibly go
wrong to blindly listen to a machine telling you what to do?

Note: I'm not opposed to use generative ML as a helping tool, e. g. to
easily obtain a starting point for a text, application program code,
whatever. I'm strongly against believing it will solve all of our problems
and relieve us from the burden of thinking ourselves. And I'm especially
strongly against blindly trusting the generated output.

:wq! PoC
