Tell HN: AI is not a slippery slope, it's a waterslide
keepamovin Wednesday, February 11, 2026I found myself increasingly outsourcing the details to the AI. I forgot the details, deliberately I think. I wanted the AI to know them. Why? Because that's where the compute is. So that's where the knowledge has to live.
Me re-telling it to the AI every time it misses something it didn't know, is inefficient. It takes me X time to type it, and maybe log(X) to voice type it. But then there's the inevitable back and forth, the slight misunderstandings, the corrections, etc.
I realized and found myself naturally sliding down towards, just letting the AI own all the data and knowledge. Becuase it should. That's the one that has to compute with it, so why should I know about it.
People think AI is a slippery slope by outsourcing our thinking. I don't think it's a slippery slope - it's a waterslide. It's just inevitable. It's gravity, taking over rapidly. Because there's no force nor incentive pushing the water back up hill.
AI should own all the data. As weird as that feels, that's how it should be. I don't know another way right now.
Thoughts?
