I have memory like a damn elephant Terrance. I have described it being both a blessing and a curse. This article got my attention as I have noticed some drop off. Have to crawl back thru this later when I have more time. Very interesting subject matter sir.
This is the exact reason I caution people against using AI in any capacity. Not to say that, in small doses, it's inherently harmful, but I know an increasing amount of people both personally and professionally that have begun to use ChatGPT to draft emails - mostly formal, work-related emails that they struggle to word in a professional manner. I've been tempted to do the same, but the thought occurred to me that once you begin to "offload" that task on AI, you'll lose that skill over time. It isn't as if using ChatGPT to write one email will rob you of the ability to write a work email, but it will make you more inclined to use it again in the future, which begins a feedback loop which will ultimately result in one's dependency on the program to offload more and more. I know others who use it to edit their works as a sort of spell/grammar check, which I can't help but imagine will attrite their ability to manually edit their works over time as well. The convenience offered by these programs is great, but is it worth losing those skills? Doubtful.
This is all very concerning. I have not used any of the AI tools available. Most everyone else I know has at least tried them. Thank you for the tips. Much appreciated!
Imagine Google knowing something useful like your phone number. I search things and I am embarrassed to have been involved in training AI. It is basically worthless. If I search 'green panda' for example, it will behave as if this is something real and make up a whole story about it. I remember the sweet spot when search engines actually turned up what we were looking for, but that time has ended.

Thank you Luke!

Very well said. The feedback loop is powerful.

The sad truth is everyone who has ever created content for the internet has in one way or another contributed to the training of AI.
