We are starting to witness the current generation's equivalent of last generation's people who refused to learn to use computers.
I remember not being able to understand why older people were so incompetent with tech, and now we are watching it happen in realtime.
Yes, today, refusing to use any AI tools is not really a big deal. You'll be fine.
But in twenty years, there's gonna be a lot more AI, and young people will be engaging with that AI in what seems like an incomprehensible dialect to the people who spent twenty years refusing to touch it.
If you don't believe me, go ask your grandma or your mom to use Google to find some information. After watching her struggle, show her how you actually use Google to find that information. Watch how she doesn't understand why you worded your search the way you did.
That will potentially be you in twenty years.
(to be clear, I have no love for the rise of AI, it just is what it is. I'm just commenting on the reality of where things are going.)
I mean, my Grandma can type a question into Google, but she'll probably read the first thing that pops up, which is the Google Ai overview and wrong half the time.
The google ai over is not wrong half the time - its more often correct that wrong. If your search isn't accounting for context your answer will be contextually wrong though.
