It's like taking a block of raw marble and instead of having to chisel it, you have, you know, a bunch of robotic arms that come in and are like working together to hone this piece of marble into something that you had in your head that would've, you know, if you were manually chipping away at it, it would take you weeks to create your final work when instead, you know, it can be completed in minutes. I think that's what we gain is a lot of efficiency and a lot of a much quicker path between between our thoughts and the execution of those thoughts. I think there is an inherent danger, particularly for people for whom critical thinking isn't necessarily a strong suit to begin with.

Is this something that's real, or is it just a perception that I'm having that isn't based on facts or data? I don't like making assumptions about things.
