      This is probably relative. A lot of people (smarter and not so smart) got hooked on it because of how accessible and convient it is to just ask AI any question and get it spit an answer in seconds. However, there does seem to be a catch - after some time you feel emptiness / void because of how hollow it is. You don’t seem to need to do a research anymore and critically evaluate the options.

        Tbh anyone who asks Ai questions and then doesn’t fact check it was never smart. And if you have to fact check it, why not just do the research to begin with and skip the middleman?

          Trying to prove this point to myself and others, I asked Claude to tell me how to add a drain line for a robot vacuum to the wash room sink.

          Claude told me to drill a hole into the trap arm and add the line there. Which would, in case you’re not aware, be the worst place to put it. You never do this.

          Drain lines get added to the tail pipe coming down from the sink, because if you add it to the trap arm (from the p-trap to the wall) you bypass the water seal keeping sewer gasses from infiltrating your home.

        Well there’s also the stupidity of not being able to figure out how to remove the “watermarks” from the generated text…

          I’m assuming you think the watermarks are just some hidden characters or something that you can see or remove by pasting into notepad?
