Remember how years ago they were all telling us that sudoku or other puzzles were important for “brain training”- and everyone was concerned about staying mentally active into old age?
Now we are told to use software instead of thinking. “Just put it into chatGPT”
Is thinking not good anymore?

We need to focus on training the public how to use it responsibly to avoid over-dependence and addiction.
There is a reason most, "AI Authors" do not disclose which books are theirs and done entirely by generative programs.
How is this the fault of AI? This is a failure to resist temptation, not an introduction of new behavior.
Failure to take accountability prevents meaningful solutions.
I'd recommend resisting the temptation.
A few did. Kudos to them. But most are either lying about it, or know their sales will plummet if people knew.
Very, very, few of them will openly disclose what books they use the slop to produce. Or their pens.

Anger applied to the wrong target is ineffectual.
The rich have pushed the narrative that being rich is the true mark of intelligence. Even when the rich is comprised of, largely, short sighted morons.
Software is the perfect widget because it has near zero marginal cost for each unit.
Brain training apps are just really simple games aimed at older, non gamers. Selling them as healthy brain tools got them out of 'childish' space.
Real brain training is writing simple games imo.
the next billionaire tech bro who rhapsodizes about "simple abundance" enabling space travel is going to get a baseball bat in the head.
they'll all reading from the same snake oil sales script now.
hear the phrases over & over.
It is an insult to young people
Who are smart, thoughtful and capable of great things
