Are we trying out car analogies? How about instead of backup cameras, which are consistent and provide extra information, you have a camera that randomly guesses things around your car? Sometimes it's right, sometimes it's wildly wrong, but mostly it doesn't affect your driving speed.

A bit. But note that "you could too" is not a "you should too".

I can back up without a camera, and I can "drive stick" as Americans call it. But a teenager learning to drive today should maybe not bother.

But that's not the same question as "why aren't you installing a backup camera?". Because it wouldn't change my ability or speed of backing up. And I can drive stick. Why not replace my car with an automatic? Because it wouldn't improve anything.

In fact I dislike automatics, since they'll suddenly and jerkily decide that another gear is best, ever though my foot didn't move, and inclination didn't change. But in a couple of decades it'll all be electric and this problem will go away. The deliberate engine braking is in electric cars just the brake pedal.

I drive a car that doesn't have a backup camera and I wouldn't pay more for a car with a backup camera. I've never felt like I need it. I guess this is just how these augmentations work. By the time you've invested the time to learn the skill, you don't need the augmentation anymore. So you're left a bit puzzled by people who do. The people who use augmentations, or rely on them, have a more clear differential view. They compare their augmented ability with their non-augmented ability and it's very different.

I still have most of the python standard library and many of the interfaces I use often in my brain, so autocomplete saves me almost no time. I can type working code into notepad about as fast as I can type it in VS code.

Backup camera is not only the backup camera and nothing more. In our reality the backup camera is a perfect way of spywaretize cars. Cudos from the Government.
