We're choosing to offload processing that our brain could be doing but we're too lazy to do it or the perceived value for us to do it is. I think there are consequences to this especially as we give the machine free information of how we twist and turn it into actually understanding what we mean.
Interesting to consider that if our first vibecode prompt isn't what we actually want; it can train on how we direct it further.
Offloading human intelligence is useful but... we're losing something.
The majority of people seem to offload most of their thinking as is, and actively avoid things like critical thinking, confronting their own biases, seeking push-back against their own beliefs, etc.
As with many other technologies, AI can be an enabler of this, or it can be used as a tool to empower and enhance learning and personal growth. That ultimately depends on the human to decide. One can dramatically accelerate personal and professional growth using these tools.
Admittedly the degree to which one can offload tasks is greatly increased with this iteration, to the extent that at times you can almost seem like offloading your own autonomy. But many people already exist in this state, exclusively parroting other people's opinions without examining them, etc.
Yeah real talk. It can really play to folks bias towards laziness and the fact that it's being controlled by corporations / (the few) / (the ultra-wealthy) should give us pause to consider the level of control it does and will influence over the majority of people...
