"AI is ret**ded & makes us monkeys" - MMA X weighs in as Sean Strickland struggles to make up his mind about artificial intelligence

Sean Strickland last entered the octagon last month when he challenged Dricus du Plessis for the middleweight title at UFC 312, losing the bout via unanimous decision. It marked his second consecutive loss to 'Stillknocks', likely meaning that he needs at least one win to re-enter the division's title picture.

'Tarzan' has been known to use social media to voice his opinion on whatever crosses his mind. The No.2-ranked middleweight recently revealed that he is unable to determine whether or not he is a fan of artificial intelligence.

Strickland took to X on Wednesday, posting:

"I haven't decided if AI is making me stupid or is it the future of stream lined information. I don't want to read a 10 paragraph email just for you to tell me something that could be said in one sentence This is your fault. Just shut the f*ck up and tell me what you want!"

Many fans shared their reaction to the post. @UFCFriedChicken made it clear that he is not a fan of AI:

"AI is ret**ded & makes us monkeys"

@dmr1619 revealed that AI has made him more competent:

"AI has made me 100 times more competent in everything"

@Fully_Looted suggested that AI was created to keep people attached to their phones:

"They want you looking at that phone/screen for as long as possible. I'm surprised you picked up on this next level conditioning"

@whitfieldsdad advised Strickland to ask an AI bot about things that interest him:

"Ask an AI stuff about cars or motorcycles or whatever else you're interested in and you'll see"
