I don't get it.
Why are people who use email or something unable to operate a chatbot?
In a pedal wheelchair? Come on
The meme is "giving a chatbot to an email user is like giving pedals to a paraplegic"
Why are email users comparable to paraplegics. What are they unable to do that everyone else can?
This feels like clarifying with mud.
you're misunderstanding the analogy. this is a fundamental problem with analogies.
'fundamental' would mean it applies to good analogies, not just wrong ones
it does. an analogy is not 1:1 and if it was it wouldn't be an analogy, it would just be the thing.
That's getting a bit too vague for me.
How is giving people a chatbot like giving paraplegics pedals? Nobody has explained it yet.
I understand that adding an chatbot to an product don't make it more practical, when you find even a Toaster with AI. Also an design made with ChatGPT insteatof research can also result in an absurd crap, halucinating not only in chats.
