If you let AI do your critical thinking and opinion-forming for you, you are effectively tying your ability to think and work to a subscription owned by a for-profit corporation that controls the model's training and interpretation of information.

3:12out the main points, but you're missing that entire opportunity to do it yourself and form those skills yourself. And you might say, "Oh, big deal. We're going to have access to AI all the time anyways." But I really want you to analyze that perspective. You're essentially saying that your ability to critically think and do your work, or do your school work, or do your job is now directly

3:32tied to an AI subscription owned by a corporation. And so, what you're telling me is AI can do everything for me, so I'm just going to be infinitely subscribed to this AI corporation for the rest of my life. And personally, I don't want that. >> [music] >> And I don't want to see a future where that's the case. And the other aspect of this is synthesizing information and

3:51forming your own opinions. That is a skill. And if you're asking AI to do it for you all the time, you're just adopting AI's interpretation instead of developing your own. And when you're adopting AI's interpretation, you're actually adopting the interpretation of the people that trained the AI, the corporation, the people that own the model and slurped up all the data from the internet to train it on and selectively choose which of

4:16those things would be trained on and selectively choose how it would be fine-tuned to answer in certain ways. So, again, you can tell me, "Oh, I'm going to be able to do this and I I will have access to this tool for the rest of my life. So, why should I spend my time actually learning these skills?" But you also need to realize that you're basically tying your ability to

4:34synthesize information and form your own opinions to a corporation, a literal money-making capitalist entity. And that means going forward, all of your opinions will be completely informed by them as well. Now, the next thing AI is stealing from you is the ability to sit with discomfort. Not knowing something is uncomfortable, but staying with that discomfort is what actually builds patience and curiosity. And we know this from a very young age, right? Kids are

4:59are running around saying, "I'm bored. I'm bored." But good parents will let their kids sit in that boredom and figure out what to do with it. They explore the curiosities. They get interested in building things with Legos or learning about electronics or doing art or making up stories. But all of these things that children spend their time on result in better critical thinking skills and better ways
