""I have a flip phone. If I get really lost, I've got to either ask people or just call my wife and be like 'Hey.' I've had to do that before, like, call my wife, and to the point where she's kind of used to it," Ansari said."
""It just gives me more space to think. I mean, I heard something about, like, Tarantino doesn't even have a phone. Chris Nolan doesn't have a phone. I was like, 'Whoa, those guys are able to get a lot of stuff done. Maybe there's something to it,'" he said."
""It's outsourcing critical thinking. It's making everyone's opinions kind of the same," Ansari said of ChatGPT."
""I would rather call someone and ask someone, or maybe have some sort of conversation, a human thing. It just seems like it's like outsourcing thinking, and it's like killing some bit of humanity," Ansari said."
Aziz Ansari uses a flip phone and has been without email for about ten years, relying on an assistant for communications. Ansari hails taxis or calls when necessary and calls his wife if lost, valuing slower, low-tech routines. Ansari credits reduced screen time with giving more space to think and cites filmmakers without phones as productivity examples. Ansari expresses skepticism about ChatGPT and similar AI, arguing it outsources critical thinking, homogenizes opinions, makes mistakes, reinforces preexisting beliefs, and diminishes human conversation; Ansari prefers calling or consulting people for personal questions like dinner planning.
