@CassandraVert So, some of my autistic co-workers love it. But personally, I've read too much #WilliamGibson, and also articles about how dependence on AI is #DumbingUsDown. We should be exercising our brains to find answers on our own, imho. Use it or lose it! However, on the other hand, it's hard to think fast and clearly when one has "stress brain" -- which happens to me in social situations. I've found myself relying on Google search results (before AI) when I worked in a library -- people want answers, and they want them yesterday! However, we need to balance the cost to our brain power, our environment, energy usage, etc., with whatever benefits that can be provided by AI (as you mentioned).

I'm a sci-fi fan but my tastes are strictly old school. I don't read anything written since the 90s. And not much written since the 60s, apart from some of the cyberpunk writers.

One of the first sci-fi novels I read was Arthur C. Clarke's The City and the Stars and I still regard it as one of the half dozen best sci-fi novels of all time.

Some writers I like -

Still getting favs and boosts from a post linking to James Gleick's interview with William Gibson.

I've been collecting my favorite bits from their delightful books for years.
