    Is GenAI Digital Cocaine?

    I thought porn claimed that title.

    But the metaphor of “it gives you delusions of grandeur and makes you think you’re doing really good at your job” is acutely fitting.

    So should we relegate porn to “digital methamphetamines” or do we promote GenAI to something like “digital LSD”?

        I don’t know drugs enough but I do know that’s a way better analogy. GenAI = Cocaine, Porn = Ketamine, something innocent like “I can haz cheesburgers?” memes are weed. Boom!

        spoiler

        Edit: switched genAI and Porn because i think you meant it this way
