Manage episode 487914677 series 3655064
We hit the big 2-0-0! In this milestone episode, we tackle one of the biggest questions in tech: Does using AI make us less intelligent, or are we just getting smarter about what skills to prioritize?From ancient philosopher Plato's concerns about writing to modern fears about cognitive offloading, we explore why every major technological shift faces the same "dumbing down" arguments. Spoiler: We think the real question isn't whether AI makes us dumber, but whether we're using it thoughtfully.Plus, Josh demonstrates how to create consistent, professional-looking graphics, characters, and assets using ChatGPT's image generation - no design skills required! Watch as we build a complete anime-style tank scene in real-time.
