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

Yea, I was driving at more existential dread angle, not anything causal or analytical.
For instance, the “weirdness” of the quality of current AIs not being great but also sometimes better than some people, at least on their off days … all highlighting how “untalented” some people out there can be at things. There’s some disconcerting truth in that.
