I think one undeniable positive outcome has been the like collective introspection AI has sparked among so many people. Has it sparked that? I'm doubtful but I'd be very interested if anyone has a references about such introspection. I grew up reading Douglas Hofstadter back in the 70s and what I appreciated with his ideas was using AI to illuminate what is human. His wave of AI failed, of course. But still, it's disheartening how little of that kind of inquiry seems missing from the current wave of AI.
