I guess it's because of copyright, i.e. it's hard to make an illegal copy of a printed book, and it's easy to make a digital copy of an ebook. So the ebook-markup is partial due to the expected privacy. My other guess is, tha

I think GP used "simple" not as a synonom for "easy", but as opposite to "complex". i.e. the off-ramp is easy to understand, but possibly hard to implement.

if you haven't already, I recommend trying the openai playground instead of chatgpt. It is the same underlying ai (i.e. gpt4), but you have much more control over the inputs. Bonus 1: Since you pay per token, it's much cheaper tha

I believe, that the "lies to children"-approach is one of the driving forces behind the general science-skepticism, and maybe even behind some consipiracy theories and some climate-science-denial. It basically goes like this:

I think all these things are happening today, but with micro managers instead of ai. And to be honest: letting AI do the micromanagement would be an improvement in a lot of places. The main problem I see here, is that management may use ai

would a cloud be securer though? I guess you gain some security, when you don't have to worry about some things. But you also lose some security, because of the added complexity.
