> "Writing, like all creative forms, is a human endeavour. At its best it is pulled up from the soul and put down on the page, or the screen. We all use ‘tools’ of some kind to do this, like the keyboard I am now writing on. But AI is different. It does not help you to do your job; it does your job for you. It sucks up from the worldwide web the usings and doings and scrapings of the already-created and it rearranges them, pretending all the while that it has ‘created’ them itself. It imitates reality but can never replace it. It is, at root, a shabby, boring and actually evil thing. It is the end of art."
This is really interesting, but I don't agree with this conclusion: "These findings highlight the importance of educational curricula that bridge the gap between intuitive and formal maths." (My own opinion is that educational curricula are generally not very important at all; that people are learning machines that learn what they need to in the contexts they find themselves; and that people -- as shown by this study -- struggle to effectively apply what they've learnt in one context into a different context.)
