Great analogy, it’s pretty much like using a forklift at the gym, yes! FWIW, we actually wrote about lit reviews along the same lines. If you use it to avoid doing the reading, even if you get the automatic lit review to be a decent one, you’d be missing the point link.springer.com/article/10.1...
A few weeks ago I read another post from AEI I agreed with (I can’t recall anything about it, other than that it was about AI, as I tried to pretend I didn’t). So now it’s the second time this year already…
No scholarly reference is provided. Maybe I’m wrong as I’m no expert, but I understood it as implied in the historical transition from pre‑capitalist labour relations to (free) wage labour under capitalism.
This form of domestic service is tacitly ruled over by something akin to 'master and servant' laws - a form of employment that once granted masters virtual dominion over their private sphere of government and punished workers with criminal sanctions such as in-house arrest, imprisonment, or even corporal punishment. Given the origins of 'master and servant' laws in medieval England, it would be easy to identify this development as a return to feudalism - an increasingly popular reading of the present conjuncture, as exemplified by the recent work of Yanis Varoufakis. The argument owes much to Marx, who implied that personal domestic service would become obsolete as feudal relations gave way to the free labour contract. But recall that, contrary to Marx's predictions, domestic service expanded in the late-nineteenth century, not in spite of but because of the growing concentration of industrial and financial wealth. Moreover, 'master and servant' relations endured well into the 20th century and have made a comeback in recent decades, if not in formal legal arrangements then at least de facto.

The Spanish government denied the US permission to use the Rota bases in Southern Spain. Trump is not happy and he just decided to cancel all trade. Maybe he will bomb us next?
You are prompting it wrong and you need a ~200-line instruction file. 😜
Yeah, right? Do we need it? Is it good?
We have a paper on AI&Soc with @javisamo.bsky.social that is precisely about the issues you mention. You might like it link.springer.com/article/10.1...
We have invented technologies, from axes to helicopters, that boost our physical capabilities; and others, like spreadsheets, that automate complex tasks; but we have never built a generally applicable technology that can boost our intelligence.
And they cite Mollick, “the AI expert and bestselling author of Co-Intelligence,” not once, not twice, but thrice. The same guy who believes that “we have never built a generally applicable technology that can boost our intelligence”…

Dscursos y preguntas como estas no merecen ser tomados en serio. En este caso solo podríamos fingir tomar la pregunta en serio porque no podemos abstraernos de nuestros valores. Por eso está bien no responder: mejor rechazar, marginar, ridiculizar o simplemente ignorar.
No estamos obligados a argumentar en los términos del otro. No tenemos porqué explicar porqué violar niños está mal. Hacerlo no encaja con nuestras formas de argumentar y con nuestras prácticas de justificación. No porque no se pueda explicar “objetivamente”, sino porque no es una opción “viva”.>
Ante la presentación de algo abominable como objeto de debate, la reacción de no contestar es muy razonable.
Como dice Rorty: “deberíamos aceptar el hecho de que tenemos que partir de donde estamos, y que esto significa que hay numerosas perspectivas que simplemente no podemos tomar en serio”.>

Conducting bibliographical research exceeds instrumental as it enables us to develop our own research ideas, thus increasing our capacity for critical thinking and creativity, which have intrinsic value. Good bibliographical research situates our work and positions us within an academic tradition, which can and does affect our identity and the values and beliefs we adopt as researchers and as individuals. Doing bibliographical research is part of the process of constructing a conceptual and theoretical scaffold for our own thinking about the topics we are researching. These scaffolds, in turn, are part of dialogical agreements and disputes over vocabularies, traditions, and methods with those that preceded us. A literature review is a very sophisticated way of deliberation.
We wrote something along these lines with @javisamo.bsky.social in our AI&Society paper about “AI assistants” link.springer.com/article/10.1...
Unsurprisingly, it fits the pattern of the term AGI being used mostly by the most despicable people and by those who admire them.
