Everyone always wants to make life easier. There’s a reason parents are using ChatGPT to come up with ideas for their 8-year-old son’s birthday party: it’s a lot easier than taking a couple of days to plan it yourself. The major benefit of making things easier is that it takes less of your time, allowing you to use it in more life-affirming ways. I can’t imagine being in the era where you had to wash all of your clothes by hand. I can read a novel, write in my diary, and prepare dinner, all while doing laundry! Maybe someday technology will be at the point where robots can cook my dinner, write in my diary, and read for me, so I can spend my precious hours on this earth doing something a little more valuable. No matter how easy things get, humans will always seek out a challenge for their brains.
