If you mean the book, then the moment when Dubois talks about Johnny’s sports award. If you mean AI bots, then the part where the user doesn’t do most of the work. That’s not necessarily a problem, say, while for bodybuilders doing physical work required to get somewhere is important, for house builders that’s not quite so and power tools are not considered something dishonest. But most things generative AI is being used for are where some form of art and culture could coexist with useful practical outcomes.
It’s like people who, during conversations on niche interests, use Google so fast that they seem erudites. Like with Turing test, that might be good enough for others, but if they themselves are not interested enough and just relay things they hear to Google, what’s the point?
