> Human laziness will drive them to accept more and more of what the AI says with less and less review of it. People do this with evil marketing, the unscrupulous, personality cults, etc. Humans will always be human. What is particularly stupid about the current AI panic is that the credulous are quickly extrapolating this to the dawn of general AI instead of seeing it for what it is: a potentially useful tool in a much larger toolbox. Inexact tools have been around forever (see mathematics) and they can be useful when, say, paired with another tool (like a human) that is effective at interpreting, evaluating and adapting results. These are the sort of applications people should be thinking about. Instead people are dreaming about how ChatGPT is going to write the next killer app for them, anthropologizing it (it's not 'wrong', it's 'hallucinating') and generally letting their imagination running away with them. More thoughtful people will see the strengths and weaknesses of the technology and move it a step forward, making it a more useful tool. This isn't new, it's been happening since humans started using rocks and fire. One day people will laugh about how people in 2023 got taken by a chat bot.
