I dunno about him; but genuinely I'm excited about AI. Blows my mind each passing day ;)

He is correct. It is mostly people cashing out on stuff that isn't there.

it is basically like how self improvement folks are using quantum

That makes sense. He's old enough and close enough thematically to have seen a few of these tech hype cycles.

I admit I understand nothing about ai and haven't used it in any way nor do I plan to. It feels wrong for me and I believe it might fuck us harder than social media ever could.

But the pictures it creates, the stories and conversations don't seem like hot air. And I guess, compared to the internet we are at the stage where the modem is still singing the songs of its people. There is more to come.

I heard it can code at a level where entry positions might be in danger to be swapped for ai. It detects cancer visually, recognizes people by the way they walk in China. Also I fear that vulnerable persons might fall for those conversation bots in a world where there is less and less personal contact.

Gotta admit I'm a little afraid it will make most of us useless in the future.
