the most powerful corps in history are paying enormous sums to get you addicted to a technology that promises to do all your thinking for you, in exchange for constantly spying on you and using everything you produce to out-produce you
this is the most dystopian tech ever made, by every possible metric.
The narrow upside uses (and I admit to enjoying my interactions with Claude Sonnet) are almost certainly not worth the massive downsides: loss of critical thinking, agency, privacy, self-expression, and inevitably humanity itself
you are allowed to do whatever you want with an AI's responses. your critical thinking, agency, and self-expression aren't actually at risk unless you let them be, and in that case you didn't have it to begin with
privacy actually is a risk but the people warning about it are the same "techbros"
