        You don’t need a conspiracy to motivate companies to make you dependent on their subscription service. Their goal is not to deskill workers for evil’s sake. They the norm to be using their systems instead of your brain.

          I don’t need a conspiracy to motivate companies to make me dependent on whose subscription service?

          They the norm to be using their systems instead of your brain

          Did you miss some words here?

        Might be, but it’s obvious that they want people to rely on their products and then sell it as a subscription. Like everything else

          Who are the various "they"s in that sentence?

          OpenAI wants people to rely on their products, sure. But, they’re not in a position to “deskill” people. In the grand scheme of things they’re just a small vendor. A random software company in Montana isn’t going to deliberately deskill their employees to improve OpenAI’s bottom line.

            Large tech are all in cahoots here, their motivation aligns

            Ms, OpenAI, google, apple. All need line to keep going up by making people increasingly reliant on their live services

            I’m not necessarily saying that deskilling is the goal, but it certainly helps them.

              They each have their own services and they’re competing against each-other to be the best / only contender. The goal is to come up with a product that makes them money. They don’t care if it’s used by unskilled or highly skilled people. And, they’re certainly not out there trying to work together to remove people’s skills.
