#SteveJobs said computers are "bicycles for the mind." Bicycles use geometry & physics to help one go further under the same amount of effort they themselves put in.
I feel #GenerativeAI are "escalators for the mind". Escalators are expensive, complex, inefficient machines that churn constantly whether used or not. A convenience. They _are_ a helpful assistive device for those that need it — and many do! — and you _can_ to go further, faster, if putting in effort, but _most_ use for laziness.
