AI: "It's Eating the Brain" as Well as Jobs

CEOs warned recently about AI eliminating jobs for humans, even those they promised in return for economic development funding.  

Former Microsoft founder Bill Gates believes AI will replace teachers and doctors.

All that sounds concerning to people wanting to be gainfully employed.  Two recent stories serve as counterbalance.  TechGod Elon Musk is redoing GrokAI because of "too much garbage."

For AI to purport to be the "correct version of human knowledge" is the usual TechGod blather.  

What does AI do to people's ability to learn and problem solve?  Just as social media made people anti-social:

A study showed artificial intelligence to harm the brain and its ability to conduct critical thinking.

AI is eating the jobs and also your brain.  So don't follow TechGod Reed Hoffman's coaching for the unemployed to use AI.  It could make one a very dull candidate.

Update 7-9-25:  Daily Beast reported that Elon Musk's Grok AI praised Hitler as the solution to anti-white hate.  And that's from the improved Grok.

Update 7-21-25:  CEOs are ordering employees to use AI, the tool that erodes workers critical thinking skills.  Which is worse for a professional?  It's a choice of retaining your brain or retaining your job under a CEO who wants to replace you with the AI you are training?  

Update 9-27-25:   Corporate use of AI coined a new term "workslop" for shoddy output that needs to be reworked by knowledgeable, experienced staff.  Studies show AI to be a time-eater for human workers. 

CNN reported on the Harvard Business School study:

...epidemic of nonsensical AI-generated work that “masquerades as productivity” and “lacks real substance.”

That's no surprise, given how work software systems became overly complex, cumbersome and added to the time it took to do one's job.  Add their unreliability and the time spent dealing with corporate IT and "tech" has become a nightmare for many workers.  

Layer AI's workslop on top amid C-suite micromanagement, supported by strategic human resources, and the workplace becomes a special hell.

Workslop is the inevitable (and avoidable) result of companies blindly adopting tools that don’t work simply because a handful of Silicon Valley billionaires declared that chatbots were The Next Internet while they were at the same time building literal bunkers for the End Times.
