seriously, the near future is going to be:
1) people who reject it completely for whatever reason.
2) people who use it lazily and produce a lot of garbage (lets be honest, this is probably going to happen a lot which is why maybe group #1 hates this future. reminds me of the outsourcing era)
3) people who selectively use it to their advantage.
no point in groups 1 and 3 trying to convince each other of anything.
- cgriswald 1y agoI think that has been the state of affairs for awhile now. I think your explanation for group 1 is true to a degree but have two other additional explanations: (1) Some element of group 1 is ideologically opposed. It might be copyright, or Luddism, or some other concern for our fellow humans. (2) Some are deluded into thinking there are only two groups and that group 3 people are all delusional. Although it is probably an uphill battle I do think both groups 1 and 3 have things to learn from each other.
- kentm 1y agoTo be fair, there are a lot of people (especially on Hacker News) in group 2 convincing themselves that they are in group 3. And people in group 1 see that and think that group 3 is a lot lot smaller than AI acolytes think.
