agree: using AI as a thinking

generally disagree. specifically, it depends on the context: writing assistant

In a context like social media, where you aren't sharing 100% pure cyclopedic facts, things like opinions, style, and subjectivity naturally creep in. So when you share AI writing, you are sharing something else's opinion, style, and subjectivity as your own. Even if you 100% agree with the robot after it's done the thinking you didn't/wouldn't/couldn't, it's near plagiarism - pretending you had a train of thought, hunch, punch, and followthrough that you did not.

It's a bit like me sharing altered photos of myself with a six pack and being like "this is me." Then when you complain, I say, "well photoshop is just a powerful tool and it's dishonest for me to not give myself a six pack."

but there is a potentially six-pack hiding under that initial flab layer!

tldr Let the tool think for you if you can't be bothered to think. Just don't share bot thoughts where people expect human thoughts. It's a lot like catfishing someone on a dating app - you are violating norms and expectations, drowning ecosystems with noise, and helping us along toward an even lower trust world.
