    nah, if anything this A.I. craze has made me appreciate how incredibly smart even the supposedly dimmest of humans are. we can use language of our own volition, to create meaning. in fact we frigging invented it!!! we’re just bloody amazing, to hell with misanthropy.

      Pace my blog post, these last few years have shown diminishing returns on “AI”:

      • AI is superintelligence (SFnal tropes like HAL 9000)
      • AI will make knowledge workers obsolete (the promise of “expert systems”)
      • AI will replace human vehicle operators
      • AI will replace paralegals and coders
      • AI has made illustrators, stock photographers and spam email copywriters redundant (<- we are here)
      • for $10/month, you will be able to emulate the average Reddit poster (<- the glorious apotheosis)
