If you are taking AI output and interactively working with it to come to some particular solution, that process of working with it is the value you are adding. The "AI proxy" is specifically about the case where you send a question to someone and literally all they do is paste it to the AI, then send back what the AI said without further work. Literally all they did was proxy your question to the AI.

Yea, but that's just a straw man argument mixed with a little No-True Scotsman. How do you know those people aren't just learning how to use AI and will change over time to be early adopters adapt and using the tool to get work done faster.

If you go back to the article being discussed, the core issue is people not even reading the output. You can't learn from blind copy pasting.

Same guy also had another #1 on HN days ago. Low score account, mildly interesting content ... I wouldn't discard manipulation. Anyway, his other "essay" was about how he doesn't take phone calls or something, so seeing this note a couple days after is just fun. This is your peer's natural reaction to "my time matters more than yours"; you're getting it back. Your value to them amounts to forwarding your musings from…

The fact that I don't like phone calls and that I don't like talking to AI can certainly coexist in the same person without being manipulation.

> Worse: it's a conversation killer. There's nothing to respond to. Your wall of text suppresses dialogue. They can't reply, can't push back, can't clarify. It's a weapon disguised as helpfulness. This has that slopccato feeling.

The what?

Portmanteau of slop and staccato I think?

I get that this is supposed to be unproductive snark, but the real answer is probably to then sort the spreadsheet and assign a tier system of how annoying and useless each person in it is.

It was not snark (an uncharitable read I must say). The point was everyone is being forced to use AI. So keeping a shitlist is going to be a very, very short term solution.

> everyone is being forced to use AI

Some small subset of companies are doing this, not all companies.

You think having a million dollars means you don't have to work? I guess it depends on where you live.

Maybe not a million, although having a few million, even just in a bank account earning moderate interest (4.5% PA) is easily enough to retire forever.

That's quite the moving goalpost.

The writing is on the wall. We are headed for a world where everybody interprets everybody through a personalized model. (corporations too.) Our models need to understand each other, we don't need to understand each other. A call and response to the tower of babel. We eventually all learn to speak our own custom language known only to us. Our inner monolog moves externally, and we offload "understandability" to an ex…

What a nightmare hellscape you’ve described here.

I think this idea is also from an AI thread. I had quite the same sentence/prophecy from chatgpt a year ago as i chatted about the furure of communication

Yeah but that's because people suck so fucking much. 1. "Sorry can't come" an hour after we were supposed to meet - this alone kills 80% of my friendships 2. "I like edgy humor" and then a month later "I'm going to report you to HR" literally had this happen to me 3. Most people have very little depth and stick to superficial smalltalk, which I find very exhausting And when on top of that you say "I wish my friend ha…

This is pretty textbook antisocial behavior. Also, every one of those points is a normal way to deal with someone you don’t like or want to distance yourself from.

do normal people think its okay to abandon plans without notice and to report their colleagues to HR etc? sounds extremely disrespectful to me
