Haha, yeah. I do. (To be clear, if what you used Google for was to retrieve the links to articles which you have previously read, enjoyed, and are now recommending to me, then I wouldn't be irritated by that. But if all you did was use Google to just now find some articles saying something, then, yeah, that's kind of irritating, isn't it? I mean, I could just do that myself.)

I actually find that negative attitude that denies the obvious quite irritating.
Are you talking about me or suchmoon?

If you're talking about me, then, I don't think that I'm "denying the obvious", am I? I'm just saying that I prefer to interact with people in ways that familiarize me with them rather than their assistants, and that I'm worried that people are going to eagerly embrace, at the great expense of their own skill development, this new low-effort way of "creating".

If you're talking about suchmoon, then, I think that they probably feel similarly, and that you're interpreting their post in a too-literal and ungenerous way. (As in, I don't think that their position is actually "AI isn't changing the world". Probably they just meant that, in their view, it's not something that deserves the positive connotations associated with language like "world changing".)
