A fascinating case of #GenAI (mis?)use - prompting an equally fascinating discussion.

With abundant metaphors and analogies, including:

👉AI is like a chainsaw, useful for cutting things, but you need to learn/be a expert or you might destroy or get injured. Counterargument: The chainsaw is not working properly, may explode in your hands (dramatic stuff!)💥

👉GenAI is like microplastics for the mind. Reliance on GenAI leading to systemic dependency, weakening skills like writing, researching, and decision-making. Unseen saturation, pervasive contamination. Imperceptible, with potentially harmful effects. Infiltrates our information streams, accumulates and subtly alters how we think. 🐟🌊☠️

Wouldn't a live discussion between Christopher Rice, Ph.D. and Ethan Mollick be fantastic?
