Every other technical innovation has made the average person’s life worse. Why would this one be any different?
I think in recent years a lot of “innovation” has been pure marketing fluff and had no real potential to change the world. This one really might. I’ve tempered my expectations, because tech bros really want us to believe there is magic to AI, but eventually it might actually change the world.
I’m rather enjoying my electricity, my antibiotics, my vaccines against respiratory viruses, my access to unlimited information and pornography, My ability to drive cars that are pretty reliable, my ability to travel anywhere in the world at any time at doable prices, technology has treated us pretty well.
This is not true. You are living in a warm house and have fresh water and food and a lot of nice furniture. We don’t think about these things but that’s because they are default now.
