I might be a mediocre developer but I find ChatGPT invaluable for my job. It finds potential problems in my code, suggests solutions, helps with libraries I don’t know about, helps in drafting solutions when given a high level description of the problem. It makes mistakes but I don’t expect it to be perfect. As a non native speaker, it also helps me with my English (didn’t use it for this comment).

It's worrying that many people are starting to use it as their default. The day that everyone uses an AI to sanitise and write all of their speech, which is in itself an expression of your personality and experience, is the day that the soul is sucked out of all human communication.

Just to add, I think AI tech is great in of itself, I just don't see the value in everyone using it to turn into some amorphous nondescript communication medium. There's a lot of value in imperfections and quirks.

Value for whom? For someone whose intent is to track you?

Value for relationships and the general value in diversity in life. Are you proposing that all digital communication should be normalised, across dialects, languages, etc, to remove any trace of individuality to avoid tracking?
