Something I've found disappointing in the "AI conversation" around me ...

... there hasn't been enough honest introspection about how this whole thing feels and likely will feel.

Like, there's something disturbing in AI's first "success" being "art" and "music".

There's something disturbing about how we were never going to be able to help ourselves & are compelled to make things like LLMs, but can still be frightened by its implications.

anger v hype leaves all that out

I think you’re missing the point. OCR has a different impact from an AI generated picture or song, whatever you think of the quality.

It’s different from AI writing emails for me. Sure it’s just dumb emails, but that’s the problem, for many that’s half their job. For many working artists, dumb songs and pictures was half their job. Half of who they are.

Forget AGI, we’re creatures of habit more than reasoning, I can buy a machine that’s a better artist than me but not wash my clothes.
