    Talk about putting the cart before the fucking horse.

    Calling them “cognitive amplifier tools” doesn’t make them “cognitive amplifier tools”. They’ve yet to show that they do anything of the sort.

    Spitting out some basic code that probably has to be edited anyway is not a “cognitive amplifier tool”.

    Generating smooth skinned avatars with questionable anatomy is not a “cognitive amplifier tool”.

    Writing creepy, repetitive prose is not a “cognitive amplifier tool”.

    Hell, the term “cognitive amplifier tool” is just nonsense anyway. For fuck’s sake, I hate these people.

      That term really creeped me out. It’s so cringey to a point that it scares me. Delusional asshole.

        He probably had copilot write his speech for him. As a CEO he is naturally self centered and is projecting his own lack of ability onto everyone else.

      They hope that’s what they’ll become. Spoiler: they won’t. You amplify your cognition by using it, not relegating it to a dumb computer.

        They don’t even need to do that. They just need the general population to believe that they’re “cognitive amplifier tools”. If you say something enough times, eventually people will start believing it even if it isn’t true.
