Professionally speaking, at least for me, it's not worth it anymore.

But personally? I won't stop using technology and I do my best to avoid AI as much as possible.

I like exercising my mind, to develop new ways of thinking and above all, cultivate critical thinking!

If there's no critical thinking, there's no creativity, no arts, no nothing!

I'm with you on that ... critical thinking ... exercising our minds ... those are the things that could easily fly out the window if not careful. Great points.

Using AI’s naivety can lead to surprisingly creative solutions as well. A bit like going down the rabbit hole with an autistic co-founder.
