> We could all end this right now by just destroying AI, if only we were more logical and united like the Amish. End what, though? My big problem with these grand proclaimations is that AI hasn't done jack shit. It hasn't displaced workers, it hasn't created sources of accountability when things go wrong, and it hasn't created real value. The assumption that a glorified autocorrect can replace all thought work is stupid from the start, and it's not getting any more credible as time goes by. The real triumph of AI was it's marketing; Sam Altman and friends really made everyone believe AI was a world changing technology just because he gave the world free AI. It's like the Library of Babel as applied to real life - what kind of demented moron would spend their lives hitting "Retry" on ChatGPT when they could use their brain and just solve the problem?
