    To get an idea of what effect doing this has on one's ability to learn and to synthesize and organize ideas... I offer this comment from OP in that thread.

    https://old.reddit.com/r/OpenAI/comments/xlvygv/artifical_intelligence_allows_me_to_get_straight/ipluoth/

    Here they actually argue with more than a trivial amount of effort. They organize their thoughts into points and try to apply them in context to objections brought by someone.

    As dumb as the OP is in that thread, and as clearly as you can see their lack of ability doing the exact thing they've been cheating to avoid learning, they have already turned into :so-true: a shithead who thinks they're a genius for figuring a way to weasel out of ever being challenged or growing.

      The OP claims that comment was also written by AI, which is also why it still isn't good.

      Bazinga brains who are primed to agree with those points are of course calling it a good comment.

      If anything this proves that being on Reddit makes you dumber and it makes me want to quit being online. Even if Reddit isn't all bots, it could be, and that isn't impressive, just sad.
