you know how there’s an increasingly large dataset showing that talking to LLMs a lot is like really really bad for your brain? there’s no ‘except for software developers’ carve-out. just fyi !
@jacquelinejacquelines 🌟 yeah, you kind of stop doing things yourself. For a little while I was "working" with Claude on things. It never really went anywhere. I wasted a lot of time.
And I'm not really talking about something "working" or "not working" it's more that you become a kind of passive participant. It doesn't ADD anything but it FEELS like progress.
And because it is "progress shaped" you keep going, but you don't actually do anything.
I can totally believe it's bad for you brain.
