I think of it as Job vs. Gym.\n\n- If we’re working a manual labor job, it’s fine to have AI lift heavy things for us because the actual goal is to move the thing, not to lift it.\n- This is the exact opposite of going to the gym, where the goal is to lift the weight, not to move it.\n\nFür mich ist Schreiben “gym work”. Es trainiert mein Hirn. Völlig sinnlos, dass von einem Automat erledigen zu lassen. Schreiben unterstützt denken. Erst wenn ich den Gedanken sehe, ist er fertig. Das kann ich nicht delegieren.", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/where-to-get-help-from-ai", "canonical_source": "https://vowe.net/2026/08/08/where-to-get-help-from-ai/", "published_at": "2026-08-08 07:46:41+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-08-09 12:52:39.054768+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["artificial-intelligence", "ai-ethics"], "entities": [], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/where-to-get-help-from-ai", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/where-to-get-help-from-ai.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/where-to-get-help-from-ai.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/where-to-get-help-from-ai.jsonld"}}
