• Just like the Spinning Jenny back then, AI is as bad as it’s ever going to be today. It’s only going to get better and jobs will be made redundant, I’ll put my money on that. It’s a real fear that many people have, whether they’ll admit it or not.

    It’s also as good as its ever going to be today (or the near future).

    Degenerative AI has already dropped off in usage to the point that major stakeholders in it are terrified. It’s going to go into the same winter that every previous “no really this time we’ve got it right” AI crazes went.

      Imagine looking at biplanes in the twenties, only pointing out the flaws, unable to imagine the huge improvements in flight technology that are to come over the next few decades.

      There’s absolutely no reason to think that AI won’t improve in the same way almost any other new technology has over time.

      Will there be peaks and dips along the way? Sure, but progress is almost inevitable.
