It’s a weird example of a technology that is ridiculously impressive (at least at first impression, but also legitimately quite astounding) whilst also being seemingly useless. I guess the oft-drawn parallels between AI and nuclear weapons are not (yet) that they’re both likely to lead to the apocalypse but more that they both represent era-defining achievements in science/technology whilst simultaneously being utterly unusable for anything productive. At least nukes have the effect of deterring us from WW3…
