Starting point is 00:00:00 There are a lot of people that are addicted to AI, know. It's crazy. I have developed an addiction to AI. My AI is actually on my best friend's list. If you're anything like me, you use Chad GPT for everything. ChatGBTT is my counselor, my therapist, my best friend. She got a bird. Yeah, that's about right.
Starting point is 00:00:19 It knows all my secrets. Storytime on how I almost got kicked out of the University of Michigan my freshman year for using Chat ChupT. Okay, so Chat ChipT is down, but we do not panic. You're literally one AI agent away from Michigan. making 10K a month. The most gut- Well, that's a different thing.
Starting point is 00:00:34 The feeling in the world is when the chat GPT chat that you've been using for about six months starts referencing things that don't exist. It must be what it feels like to notice for the first time that a loved one has dementia or something. Everyone's talking about how AI is ruining YouTube, but I believe AI is ruining something much worse, our own ability to think. ChatGPD has went down several times this year and every time it goes down, it truly exposes people who are over-reliant on the AI.
Starting point is 00:01:00 People are. That's crazy. Like, I mean, to me, I feel like maybe this is, maybe this is the point where I'm becoming a boomer. Because I don't really ever, like, I use AI sometimes, right? If I want to, like, research something and, like, I just want, like, a summary for it. But, like, I don't really use it like these other people use it. They're thinking about it all the time. genuinely losing their minds because they now can't get any of their work done.
Starting point is 00:01:30 they can't cheat on their assignment. And apparently they can't even bake a cake. Chat GPT is down. And I don't know about anyone else, but I have come to the conclusion that I can't use my own brain anymore. Because, for example, right now I want to bake a cake. And normally I ask chat GPT, how do you make a carrot cake? I can't simply Google something anymore.
Starting point is 00:01:46 Like, I need a step-by-step breakdown from my best friend who is also a robot. And now? See, people like this back in the day used to be their entire life was believing and trolls and digging potatoes out of the ground. But now these people have cars, homes, careers, you know, like houses, fucking like a boat. And most scarily, they have a social media account. And this is a subversion of the way things are meant to be. These people need to be back.
Starting point is 00:02:37 Again, they need to be about getting carrots out of the ground, you know, deciding which potatoes are the good potatoes. This is real, this should have never happened. This has gone, this has gone on way too far. We got a big problem here. It's like he's passed away. So that's me for the day. I'll go back to bed. If we as a society are already this dependent on chat TPT and can't be bothered to Google something the moment the servers.
Starting point is 00:03:07 It's going to get better for sure, right? go down, we as a society are baked and not in the fun way. Cookbooks, Google, I think even the flower bag has a recipe on it or just call your... Yeah, I was about to say, like, doesn't it have, like, if you're making carrot cake, doesn't it just say on the back of the cake what to do? Because like, if I buy a cake mix, it just says on the back of the mix, put this much water in and then put it in the fucking oven. Like, it's not like this is complicated. Like, you don't need chat, GTPT. They already chat GPDed it for you. Fucking 50 years ago.
Starting point is 00:03:44 Her grandmother, I'm sure she has a recipe and she would love to hear from you. And of course, every time chat GPD goes down, everybody goes to Reddit to let everybody else know what they already know is that the servers are down. Well, I mean, to be fair, this happens with any video game too. I mean, that's just people trying to figure out if it's broken or not. Because when chat GPD tells you Australians don't need a visa to enter Chile, but it's wrong and too late now. People are now relying on chat TPT for travel information, which as we know gets updated. It's not always the same. Chat TPT, of course, can not only have outdated information,
Starting point is 00:04:26 it can also hallucinate. It just has wrong information because it aggregates the info wrong, what it reads wrong, that it can just happen. The thing is that I feel like the chat GPT brain is similar to kind of how Wikipedia was in the 2010s, where, people instead of looking for primary sources would look through and look for kind of like an amalgamation of information on Wikipedia. And I think that really what smart people did, and you guys know this if you went to college, like in like from like, because for me, I went to college like 208, dozen like 12 or 13, right, somewhere around there. Like you would, you would go on Wikipedia, but then you would find the primary source that's sourced in Wikipedia
Starting point is 00:05:07 and then use that as the actual source that you're using to verify that the information. is accurate, right? And the ironic thing about this is that chat GPT has the exact same function because all of the information that it has, at least with GROC, which is the Twitter one, is that or X one, is that it's sources where it finds everything. So, like, shouldn't you double check this? AI gives wrong answers because it's not thinking. It's guessing through statistic tricks over what the next word is most likely to be right. Yeah, but like it's people that are thinking also give wrong answers. Okay, like let's not pretend like this is some kind of unique thing that AI is stupid and people aren't.
Starting point is 00:05:56 We just really run a lie out its training setting unless we're speaking about some fixed source skill like programming or video editing. Yeah. Fascinating to me because this was such a simple Google search, but it's like people don't want to Google anything now. They don't want to search out information. Well, to be fair, Google hasn't necessarily made that any easier for people. Google is awful to use now because Google uses Gemini for every search as well, which is their AI tool. And then on top of Google's AI tool happening, then you also have a bunch of sponsored results and badly curated results. Like Google in 2006 was probably the greatest website that's ever been made.
Starting point is 00:06:35 But Google in 2025 seems like a sciop. As soon as they started like in 2015-16-ish, whenever they started exercising like editorial control over like which sites got mentioned and which ones didn't, that's when things started falling apart. They just want answers given to them automatically, regardless if it's true or not. I was recently thinking about all the know-it-alls in the world, right?
Starting point is 00:07:07 I think we all know someone who kind of, kind of just says things and you're like, where did you get that from? And I don't know where they get it from. They just pull it out of the air, but they say it confidently because they themselves believe it and now they're trying to pass it on as truth. Last night, I went out with friends and one of my friends brought a friend. We were talking about space and I said, fun fact, the size of Neptune's storms are so large they could eat Earth. And then little tag along speaks up and he goes, oh, that's not true, bro. That's not.
Starting point is 00:07:37 Show him with proof that it is true. And he goes, no, no. Oh, you're going to believe NASA. Oh, aren't they the ones that fake that moon thing? Ah, yeah, right. Where are we at? Are we good? Well, wait, wait, do we have an F?
Starting point is 00:08:03 We're good. Okay, good. I was worried for a second there. Yeah, you can't believe NASA. And says, yo, Cha, is this real? You're using an AI model to fact-check NASA. Why use brain? doubting official sources of truth such as NASA and opting for chat TPT.
Starting point is 00:08:31 Because they're stupid. Are we good? Test? We're good. I don't know what the fuck, man. Like, my internet's just been so messed up recently. And anyway, I forgot what I was saying. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:06 Why do people believe this stuff? It's just because they're dumb. That's the reason why. It's not some sort of like elaborate, crazy. oh, I wonder what this is. They're just stupid. Source of truth. People are now using AI to cheat during their interviews.
Starting point is 00:09:23 You're leading an army of ants in a battle against grasshoppers. What's your first strategic move? Hmm. I think my first strategic move would be to assess the terrain and identify any natural advantages that we can leverage, such as narrow paths or elevated areas. So you can see that AI has... This seems like a meme, by the way. I don't think this one's real.
Starting point is 00:09:43 conversation and it just outputs the answer and she's kind of reading it all. I understand, okay, I understand the interviewing process, job hunting, I get it. It sucks. I think imposter syndrome is something we have all struggled with at least at some point in our careers. And if you can't answer the questions in an interview, I don't know. I feel like you're setting yourself up for failure. I know employers. Or you're setting yourself up for a paycheck. And that's the thing is that, oh, and this is people lie on job interviews. Like, the only job application I didn't lie on was my one to the IRS because it was the federal fucking government, right?
Starting point is 00:10:19 Other than not, I lied on every single job application, every application that I ever did. Anything that I possibly could, I would lie about everything. And again, because why? Because I want to get the job. Like, I don't, like, oh, they're going to fire you. Okay. Well, then I'm at the same place that I was already at and they still have to pay me for the time before they figured out that I was bullshitting them.
Starting point is 00:10:43 So fake it to you make it? Yeah, exactly. And so yeah, I did on jobs too. Yeah, always lie. Always lie unless it's a job that you can get arrested for lying on. Don't do that. Themselves are using AI. So now potential employees are fighting back using AI themselves. But I think this will just lead employers to coming up with new tactics to see, are you using AI? I think we've reached a point with AI where we can confidently say this is not a tool that is revolutionizing learning. This is a nightmare that is destroying learning. Not once have I seen a single student use AI as a resource or in a way that is even remotely ethical. A hundred percent of times when I see students use it, it is so they do not have to think. I'm talking about... That's right.
Starting point is 00:11:29 That's right. There's going to be no more thinking. There will be no more thinking at all. This is over. Okay? This is over. And also, here's the thing. schools nowadays don't teach you long form arithmetic anymore because we have calculators that do that
Starting point is 00:11:48 I think that this is going to have to be a change that comes from both sides I think that schools and teachers are going to have to reinvent the way that they teach people if technology can just so easily solve the problem that they're bringing up that yeah you this is a new meta like you have to change the meta of learning and the meta of learning has changed many times over the years. It's not like this is the first time. Think about how much the internet changed things. Think about how much computers change things. Think about how much calculators would have changed things. It's totally different. Your years behind. Yeah. Your years, yeah. You don't want to teach. Like, you're not going to, why would you, are you really preparing students for the real world by not preparing them and not teaching them to use the tools that everybody in the real world uses?
Starting point is 00:12:39 No, you're not. Putting an essay prompt into chat GPT, not even reading the essay prompt, copying and pasting the results into a doc and submitting it without even reading it over. Easiest. More and more teachers are- Easiest essay of my fucking life. There you go. Coming out and claiming how AI is terrible for students, and I'm always surprised by the amount of backlash that these teachers get. There's a huge difference in giving AI to an adult to be used as a tool and giving AI to be used as a tool. giving AI to a student to be used as a crutch.
Starting point is 00:13:14 An adult already has critical thinking skills, whereas a child hasn't developed their critical thinking yet. These students need to be writing things for themselves. Writing, reading, spelling, all of those things lead to critical thinking, abstract thinking, which is the basis of just learning how to learn. How can they fact-check an LLM if they can't even on their own, create their own stories?
Starting point is 00:13:50 People also love to compare AI to when calculators were introduced. Have you ever asked a calculator how to boil an egg? Have you ever asked a calculator to write a resume for you? They're not the same thing. No, but I have asked a calculator how to calculate the hypotenuse of something or how to, you know, do a graph or something like that. There's a lot of graphing calculators that do and they perform functions that people no longer need to directly understand how to apply themselves. I think that it's undeniable that calculators have changed the way that people learn math. Absolutely it is.
Starting point is 00:14:25 And same as statistics or anything else. Yeah. So you do have to use and adapt to technology. And I think also, like, you ask yourself the question, are you doing your students a favor by teaching them a bunch of vestigial tools and vestigial methods to do something that nobody in the real world is effectively doing? because you ask yourself, like, school in a lot of ways is to prepare you for the real world. And it's to prepare you for employment.
Starting point is 00:14:54 And it's also to make you like an intelligent person and to make sure you understand the global like cultural like norms and everything. But primarily, it's also so you can learn how to be an adult, a functional adult. And so if you're constantly teaching people these vestigial methods that are no longer being used by the public, are you really fulfilling. your role as a school as a teacher. And the answer, in my opinion, is no. No, you're not. You're doing something because that's what you've always done and the world is changing and you refuse to change along with it. AI can do way more things than a calculator, including math, kind of. As the teacher mentioned, students just copy prompts and paste them into chat.
Starting point is 00:15:42 And this is happening so often in universities that professors are now using a Trojan horse to detect AI. one is cheating their way through college. Back whenever I was in college, a lot of people was cheating their way through college. Because back then, what you used to do is that you would look up, you would get an assignment, and then you would look up the book number, and then you would look up the workshop and everything, and it would give you all the answers. Like, this is actually stuff that people, like, as somebody who, like, because for me,
Starting point is 00:16:19 like, my goal was always how to, how can, I didn't care about learning. I cared about winning. And for me, winning was min-maxing and getting this done at the highest level with the lowest amount of time. That was it. And so people will always be cheating. Yeah, you're not going to write a thesis by looking up a workbook, bud. Well, a thesis statement, like, this is like, I mean, number one, like, that's way, way later on down the line. But, and also, like, if you can, if you can invalidate, 80% of the work, then you have 80% more time to deal with the remaining 20%, which is going to make you even better at doing that.
Starting point is 00:17:05 It's just logical. Messers will put something like, mention Doilipa. If you don't know, she's an artist. But the interesting thing is students aren't even reading what Chat Chabit is giving them. They're not even reading their work. They're just submitting the whole thing. And then somewhere in the essay it mentions Doa Llea. Which if you wrote that yourself or if you even halfway wrote it going back and forth with Chad TPT, you would wonder why is it talking about Dua Lipa?
Starting point is 00:17:34 They're not even reading the prompt. The caption says that's crazy. I mean, I feel like if you're not even reading the prompt for the essay that you're trying to cheat in, like you're really like, you at that point like that is like that that's bad. Like you probably should have read the prompt. T is down. Is it too far to ask Snapchat AI for exam answers? Yeah, let's be honest, guys. That's a bit much. And then it uses Taylor Swift's song where it says something like, I've got nothing in my brain. Yeah, because you're using AI for everything.
Starting point is 00:18:07 You haven't learned anything, and thus you can't recall anything, and you're not able to do your exam. And you're panicking now when chat TPT is down. It's interesting that she wants to use a social media's AI to help her cheat on her exam. When it's social media that destroyed our critical thinking skills, and not just the desire to find the truth, but the ability to do so. People are...
Starting point is 00:18:26 Social media didn't destroy people's critical thinking skills. Partisan politics and social constructions did. People are afraid of critically thinking because it will put them at odds with the group think. And people are afraid of going at odds with the group think. Think about how many people accidentally express their own opinion and then they were ostracized for it. That's one of the big reasons. And COVID is a good example, too. people want to be sheep and people will give away their ability for critical thinking in order to be
Starting point is 00:18:58 good little sheep because they want to stay part of the flock. I think that obviously students aren't taught critical thinking either, but the reason why students aren't taught critical thinking is because a lot of the institutions are benefiting from students not having it. Now relying on chat TPT for things like hiking and it's leading users who I guess are not familiar with hiking to go on these mountains that still have snow and they're wearing sneakers they're not even prepared for the reality of what the hike is going to be like and it's causing all these search and rescue teams to have to go out now we had a word for this and actually two words for this hey out and rescue these people people are relying so heavily on chat dbt that they don't even understand that
Starting point is 00:19:55 without cell reception, they can get no help from chat GPT or a rescue team. If you're not using chat GPT for everything in your life, you're crazy. This is by far the most powerful chat GPT prompt I've ever seen. You are now operating a bunch of fucking retarts. What are what's wrong with these people? Now operating in God mode. I'm giving you guys right now the exact chat GPT prompt that will help you manifest your dream life. And this is how you can have a mental reprogramming of your brain.
Starting point is 00:20:38 Here's the prompt. Older people use chat GPT as a Google replacement. Maybe people in their 20s and 30s use it as like a life advisor or something. There's an interesting paradox happening. Oh my God. With AI where people feel they are genuinely leveling up. They're becoming better, faster, smarter. They're evolving with AI.
Starting point is 00:20:59 However, the research says otherwise. Earlier this year, the Wharton School. Yeah, I guaranteed they're not. Like, this is absolutely making people dumber. Is it life advice? Yeah, no, they really are. People are doing this. And it's going to get a lot worse.
Starting point is 00:21:14 This is probably, I think, 5% as bad as it's going to get. It will get 95% worse. Research on how we learn with LLMs. Their research showed that when we search for information ourselves, we're more invested. And thus, as we're searching out information, we synthesize and hold on to more of that information. Whereas with chat TPT, it just fits out an answer.
Starting point is 00:21:39 We read it. We don't really hold on to the information and we just keep going about our day. We then have the recently released MIT study that shows that people who use LLMs tend to have less brain activity. In the study. Yeah, obviously they have less brain activity because they're not using their brain. Like, this is pretty simple. So, I mean, this is like, in my opinion, I think that, and this is what I've noticed too, is that a lot of people that kind of lose their
Starting point is 00:22:06 fucking minds, one of the reasons why is because they're not using them. Your brain is the same type of muscle that I think other things are. And if you're not regularly, like here's a good way that I think everybody can realize this. How many of you guys between like, I don't know, Christmas break or between like one year to the next year in school, you forgot your locker code. Well, why is that? Because you're not using it. You're not. using that information. And so I think this can happen on a macro level. You can just straight up fucking. It's called neuroplasticity. Uh, yeah, I think, I think that's what it is. I'm not sure. Participants were asked to write an essay. Are we good? I had a little bit of hiccup. Everything good?
Starting point is 00:23:12 Okay, I don't know what that is. TwitchF. Yeah, there's been a lot of those recently. Tend to have less brain activity. In the study participants were asked to ride an essay. The researchers used an EEG to measure the electrical activity of the brain as users were writing their essay. They found that the people who only used their brains exhibited the strongest most distributed networks and the LLM users displayed the weakest connectivity. This study also highlighted how people who used the LLM had a really hard time recalling what they'd even read or wrote with the LLM. Because they're stupid. And this is another thing too, is that. like you have a selection bias going on with this because a lot of the people that use chat
Starting point is 00:23:56 GPT to figure out answers for everything are just stupid like that's it yeah actual brain right yeah I mean I don't know what you want me to say like is this is I feel like this is always one of those things where it's like oh nobody's supposed to talk about this but the reality is that a lot of people are fucking retarded. And like the bottom 20% of the of society are just dumb. They're dumb. They're dumb. These are the people that again, they need like back in the day, they would be, like their job would be how to turn a big rock into a little rock. And that's what they would do all day every day. And they had a hammer and they would do that. Or they would get all the potatoes out of the ground or anything like that.
Starting point is 00:24:47 And so, no, I'm just saying, right? And so that's the issue. And so now these people own a car. And that's a big fucking problem, isn't it? Holy shit. Can you imagine a person who's, this is like, this is the capacity that they were operating at. Now they have a car? Oh, fuck.
Starting point is 00:25:05 Yeah, I'm capable of remembering how to spell or do math. I'm just lazy. I just get to Google it. Yeah, just make all tests in person with a pencil. You're being unfair to Mason's. I'm not talking about stone masons. I'm talking about a guy with a hammer that just turns rocks into dust, okay? Like, obviously stone masons and stone masonry is a high-level skill.
Starting point is 00:25:25 I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about people that just make big rocks into little rocks, okay? Very big difference there. And so, yeah, not a stone mason, just an idiot. And so anyway, in Russia they were saying, a monkey with a grenade? Yeah, I guess so, right? And so this is the problem that I think a lot of people have is that there's this concept that everybody is a blank slate. And because they're all a blank slate, you can just simply teach people these things and they'll learn them and they can get smarter.
Starting point is 00:25:56 There are a lot of people, like I think each individual person has like a spectrum of IQ that they can exist on. And there's a floor and there's a ceiling. And that's a pretty, it's pretty definitive, right? I mean, obviously certain, you know, like factors like nutrition play a big role in this, etc. But like, there are some people that are just dumb. They're just dumb. Like, you're not going to, you. And the thing is, like, every animal, we know this with every animal that every animal there are, you had a dumb cat, you had a smart cat.
Starting point is 00:26:30 There are some cats that can tell that they're attacking their reflection and they'll stop. And there's some cats that will just get mad at a mirror for the rest of their fucking life. And the fact is that animals have variations, and even they do, but the truth is that people do too. And they're never going to be, you're kind of there. People have different strengths that they're able to exploit. This is, again, this is a idealistic viewpoint on the reality, but I think it's inaccurate. There are a lot of people that just aren't really born with that many talent points. It's not like everybody who's really stupid is somehow a savant in music.
Starting point is 00:27:12 No? There's some people that are just stupid. That's it. They don't have another talent tree that they have all their points in. No, they're just dumb. That's all there is to it. There's no fucking, there's no, you know, silver lining. It's just how it is.
Starting point is 00:27:32 It's a genetic baseline. Yeah, exactly. And I think that a lot of people don't want to acknowledge that. And AI helps these people understand things. Would you say most of it is genetics? I would say that it's a mix. I think that it's a mix. I think two smart people are more likely to have a smart kid,
Starting point is 00:27:51 but too dumb people could have a smart kid too. But there's definitely a correlation, but it's not one to one. A lot of people have issues with this MIT research, claiming that it's too small of a sample size. But we also have Microsoft's own research pointing to basically the same thing, that the more we use LLMs, our brains are having atrophy, and we're losing our critical thinking. That's right. This is all interesting to me because the AI high usually focuses on how we're all going to unlock all of this knowledge that the average person can learn physics. Yet if they're using an LLM to learn physics.
Starting point is 00:28:26 The average person could never learn physics. But the average person who has the capacity to learn physics now has a much little. barrier to entry to learning physics. But they're actually learning it at a shallower depth than if they would research it on their own. AI is also marketed to us as allowing us to automate the boring things when in reality we're just fact-checking what the LLM tells us. We're not even using our creativity and we're not using our critical thinking skills. That's why we're becoming dumberer. In my opinion, we really didn't need these studies to show that if you outsource every single thought you have to chat to be
Starting point is 00:29:04 that that will deteriorate our own ability to think. And you can think about this like in an abstraction. Think about it from the perspective of how people wait for politicians or influencers to give them their opinions about things. Is it really that much different than chat GPT? Not really. It's basically you're just outsourcing your critical thinking to another person to another apparatus, to something else, right? It's like at one point, you don't want to think. and somebody else or something else is thinking for you.
Starting point is 00:29:39 This is stupid. Somebody telling what's smart, smart is. Everybody thinks it's like, it's not dumb, bro. Like, it's not. Like, you ever been to a school and you ever been to a class with dumb people in it? You would know that there are some people that are just never going to get it. They're never going to get, they're never going to figure out a triangle, bro. Like, they're never going to, there's not going to be a point in time where you can explain it in the right way.
Starting point is 00:30:06 It's like, well, it's kind of like a Dorito. No, but then they're like, well, that's not because I can eat a Dorito. I can't eat a triangle. Guys, guys, please believe me when I say this. Critically and problem solved. If I can show you how to make money with ChatGBT in the next hour, would you do it? So I've been training this brand new AI on exactly how to help beginners make money online. If I had to start from zero and make 10K per month as fast as possible with AI,
Starting point is 00:30:36 here are three ideas that I know. for sure would work. I want to stop scrolling because this AI hack could change your entire 2025 income game. I'm too cheap to pay for my own Netflix subscription, so let's build our own version of Netflix and all we're going to need is to go on to chat dupit. I just sit back, relax, and save that Netflix subscription money. What's your vibe today? Smart feed, mystery.
Starting point is 00:30:59 So many people these days are told they need to start. What the fuck? What the fuck is she talking about? part a business or a side hustle. And with AI, anyone can code up their own application, even though these people are now putting users passwords in an Excel file because they don't know how to set up a database or do proper authentication. But I digress. Well, this actually, like the point she's making, I actually think that if you are a 15-year-old and you are in the top 10% of intelligence, you probably have a higher capacity to make over
Starting point is 00:31:38 $100,000 a year than a random moron with a four-year college degree. Because there are a lot of ways that people can make tons of money on social media and on the internet by utilizing AI in order to create different types of processes or to do different types of actions at scale. Like, because you see this happen every once in a while where there's like some kid that's thought of like some business thing or whatever that they can come up with. And like, how do I know that? it's because I used to do this as a kid in a small scale, right?
Starting point is 00:32:11 Like, we didn't have technology back then, but, like, I would be trying to sell, you know, like answers to tests. I would be trying to sell, you know, like different programs. Like, I'd be trying to sell, like, burn CDs. I'd be trying to do whatever it is. And so what happens is that, yeah, floating rocks, well, that was the first one, right? And the point is that if you're smart and resourceful, this is like a multiplier effect of your.
Starting point is 00:32:37 intelligence. But the issue is that in the same way that people that are really smart can use this to like multiply their effectiveness, people that are really stupid, it actually holds them back from even being able to reach their own potential. I think it's definitely a double-edged sword. Is that now dumb people never have to think at all, but smart people who can think can use this and outperform a dumb person instead of five to one, it's 500 to one or 5,000 to one. I'm thinking about starting a side hustle where I collect dog poop by hand from people's yards and drying them out to put in resin to make jewelry and watches out of. Thinking of calling it turd times a charm.
Starting point is 00:33:19 What do you think? This idea is brilliantly unhinged and honestly, it might just work. People may be spending money that they don't have to start a side hustle all because Chad Deputy told them it was a brilliant idea. It's like, well, that, I mean, that's again, like, I feel like that's user error. Like, there's plenty of people that make bad business decisions without, chat GPT. Like I've I've seen a lot of bad business decisions be made by, but without chat GPT at all.
Starting point is 00:33:48 It's a shitty idea. It is. It's very shit idea. Natural selection. Yeah, they're just dumb. So focused on being efficient now that no one cares about honing their skills, about improving their craft. Take the event loop and this is the thing though, right?
Starting point is 00:34:04 This is like, this is what I was saying before is like the people that do hone their skills, the people that are experts in their craft, think about how much this is a multiplier for their efforts and for their work. And then you think about what the income and the wealth disparity is now, and you think about now these people have the tools to multiply that by a hundred.
Starting point is 00:34:25 It's going to get a lot worse. JavaScript. It's a coding language, if you don't know. The event loop, you don't necessarily need to know to write JavaScript code, but it's something that I want to know. fascinates me and it allows me to ride optimized code but do i truly need to know it to be able to write code no the a i knows it it can ride optimal code but it's like nowadays i'm viewed as the idiot if i don't want to use a i like if i don't want to outsource my brain to the i'm the idiot
Starting point is 00:34:55 over well you would be in in some circumstances because like if you if you are an experienced technician and or a programmer, I bet you can probably get 80% of something done with AI in 10% of the time and then spend an additional 20% of the time editing and making sure that everything is in line and save ultimately over half the time. So like it's all about like and this is a thing that um not true to speaking of our experience. I think that again, every year that it's not true is a year that we become closer to it being true. We all know this, right? Everybody knows this.
Starting point is 00:35:37 And so what I think is happening, smarter, not harder? Yes, exactly. And so one thing that happens is that, again, people that are good at using this will be able to outperform you. It's like what that Jensen Huang, the CEO of Nvidia said, he said that AI isn't going to replace jobs, but people that use AI will replace you. And that's what's going to happen.
Starting point is 00:35:59 The CS majors coping. No, no. And again, like, you're definitely right. And think about how many other instances there are that are similar to this that people are using. So they use, I'm doing that right now. I have been for three years now. Yeah, a lot of people have. And so you always have tools like this that can create the gap.
Starting point is 00:36:16 We're teaching AI to replace us. We're teaching AI to empower you to replace people in some cases, yes, but also to empower people to be more efficient. The problem is the employer expect us to use AI and be 10X. Yeah, yeah, sure. ...cliance on ChatGPT is the real zombie apocalypse. It's the death of critical thinking. I think this tweet sums up this video quite well. Sometimes in the process of writing a good enough prompt for ChatT
Starting point is 00:36:44 I end up solving my own problem without even needing to submit it. AI folks have now discovered thinking. You just are putting your closets on ChatGPT? What happened to the art of getting dressed? What happened to... I can't find anything to wear. One of my last beautiful, personal joys that we have every day is the art of getting dressed. He's ranting about how people are now uploading their entire wardrobe to chat GPT,
Starting point is 00:37:13 to ask chat TPT for recommendations on what they should wear, what they should buy. His argument is that we're all going to... Oh, my God. Oh, that's real bad. Oh, shit. Look the same now, which I agree. We're all losing our individuality, our personality. We all sound the same, actually. Research does show that everybody's kind of just sounding the same now
Starting point is 00:37:43 because they're all regurgitating what ChattypD has told them. Where is individuality? Where is ownership of our work? Where is creativity? When we question nothing and outsource all of our critical thinking skills to an AI, it creates the perfect conditions for tech billionaires like Peter Thiel to control us. That's right. Which is already happening.
Starting point is 00:38:03 That's right. I love him. I think he's great. Pick for another video. He's so great. Hey, how are you? Um, how am I doing? Good. How are you? Good. How are you? Do you want to go out for ice cream?
Starting point is 00:38:15 Let me ask chat. Hey, chat. Should I go out for ice cream? Hey, well, if you're in the mood for ice cream, why not? I need a yes or no. Yes. Okay, yes. Again, bro, there are so many people in this world that are meant to, be digging potatoes out of the ground that have been thrust into office jobs that they do not have the mental capacity for. And finally, the computer can think for them and they can fulfill their existence of just simply doing fucking nothing. Bro, I'm telling you, and I know, I know, I know you shouldn't say that, but I think it's true. I do. I really think it's true. And there's a video.
Starting point is 00:39:00 Give it a like. Vanessa, I don't know how to say her last. It's got out one of those fucking things in the A, I don't know what that is. But I've got 15,000 subs. This is a really good video. I think she put it together really well. I'd look forward to see what else she'd make. And you'd be in the farm too. Well, hey, if I, listen, if I would be in the farm eating potatoes and then digging them out of the ground, I would be a happy boy. I wouldn't have to worry about, like, taxes. Like, oh, my God. Like, what the, what the fuck? is that? Like, are you kidding me? Or like some kind of fucking like, what do you mean the PSI of my car tires? What the fuck does? Oh, bro. Like, what is this? This is so complicated. I can't think about this.
Starting point is 00:39:48 No. And you don't know, like a morgue. Wait, what do you mean? There's a 3.5% on how. Oh, God, geez. Yeah, think about how much easier it would be for those people. Okay, there's 700 potatoes out there. we need 150 of them today go get them this is like again this is so easy go get them I'm serious everybody acts like I'm crazy
Starting point is 00:40:21 but I'm the only person who's not is not that simple bro yes no okay well you've got to oh there's a stick you've got to have and you have to worry about using the stick to get the potatoes out and that's it I'm telling you, low key, I wish I was a feudal surf. I think that serfdom, we are bringing back neo, we are going to have neo feudalism.
Starting point is 00:40:46 We already have it. We already have it, guys. You have people shopping for you. You have people getting your food for you. You have people driving you around, Instacart, Uber eats, and Uber. These are all things that you people used to do. We are beginning to have feudalism again. This is what's going to happen.
Starting point is 00:41:09 Do you know Obama was on to something after all? Well, look, Twitch has got a new set of rules, and so we're not going to talk about that. But the point is that even if they're too rude, serfs were docile, they were very docile. And if they weren't docile, well, you know what happens.
