"adopt it for everything, everywhere."

The sole reason for this being people realizing they can make some quick bucks out of these hype balloons.

they usually know its bad but want to make money before the method is patched, like cigs causing cancer and health issues but that kid money was so good

Claude has simply been of amazing help that humans have not. Because humans are kind of dicks.

If it gets something wrong, I simply correct it and ask better.

If that works for you thats fine, I just end up switching to an asking for answers way of thinking vs trying to figure it out for myself, and then when it inevitably fails I get caught in a loop trying to get an answer outof it when I could've just learned on my own from the start and gotten way further because my brain would be trying to figure it out and puzzle it together instead of just waiting for the ai to do it for me.

I used to hype up ai til fairly recentlly, hasnt been long since I realized the downsides. Ill use it only for stuff I dont care about or could be googled and found in seconds. If its something id be be betterr of learning or doing a tut once, I just do that instead of skipping to the result. It can be a time saver, can also actively hold you back. It's solid fir stuff you already know, tedious stuff, but skipoing to intermediate results without the beginner knowledge/experience is just screwing your progress over.
