It is obvious that outsourcing intelligence comes at a cognitive cost, and yet it is alarming that the cognitive cost is so catastrophically high.

Woooo!

There's just something about these "AI stream producers" and "AI generated overlays" and "AI coded chat interactions" that's like…

Have you tried just streaming? And having fun? And playing games? And talking about the games you're playing?

Streamers with too much chat chaos? Kinda unwatchable. 💖

AI Use Appears to Have a "Boiling Frog" Effect on Human Cognition, New Study Warns A new study claims to offer the first causal link between AI dependency and cognitive erosion. Researchers warn of long-term implications.

“We find that AI assistance improves immediate performance, but it comes at a heavy cognitive cost”
“After just [about] 10 minutes of AI-assisted problem-solving, people who lost access to the AI performed worse and gave up more frequently than those who never used it.”

The end of the campaign is in sight, and we've decided to sweeten the deal!

All backers will receive 10 Alliance dossiers on key paragons and villains regardless of pledge tier. This gives backers more lore and more resources for their own campaigns at no additional cost!

ooooo I've seen Dreamscape, but haven't heard of Brainstorm (adds to list).

Record Store Day is Saturday (go support your local record store), and I had a memory of putting pennies on the arm of the record player so the needle would go down far enough.

Anyway, support human creativity. [End Thread...and no I don't know how long this rant is].

We see the above happen to writers who are actually writing; where since a/i uses some structure of grammar, the finger of pointed judgement comes down upon the real human writer. 🧵

ON TOP OF ALL THE ABOVE, this only further muddies the waters of is it a/i or not? Because people are ready to go on a tear when they think something is a/i without proof; and sometimes human made can appear to look a/i because A/I WAS TRAINED ON HUMAN CREATIVITY. 🧵

I sometimes see comments of "imagine (this a/i thing) gets you 90% of the way there, then you only have to do 10% of the work."

What I imagine is that you don't have time to be a streamer.
What I imagine is that you don't have time to be a dm. 🧵

We can already see this play out in a/i generated websites; they all have a similar look. Thread keeps threading 🧵

Meld (the streaming software) launched an a/i thing called "Sparks" where you type in a prompt and get a canvas or effect for your stream. Congrats, your aesthetic is now whatever the a/i says it is, and it's going to wind up looking the same as everyone else's. 🧵

Great post.
