To extend the metaphor, the thing that is frustrating to me about our current situation is that all my favorite TV shows have been replaced with this dancing bear.
It's interesting the bear can dance, and I suspect it means Important Things, but I also would like to enjoy "good" art, you know?
That's a social issue and it is worth asking if ballet companies know the tradeoffs of how hard it is to get the bear to do Swan Lake with others, but you don't answer the social issue by denying that the bear does anything at all and hoping people will stop thinking it does
This is fair. I wonder if some of the divergence in discourse about AI is because some people treat it as a technology issue and some treat it as a social issue.
I guess I feel it's a big ball of techno-social.
The divergence comes from the fact that one side is saying “in two years, we will no longer have dancers so we’re tearing down the Bolshoi, firing the ballet teachers, and investing heavily in bear snacks.”
the only people who think the entire economy is going to be AI, and specifically, content generators, are the people who want to get money from VC firms and the VC firms that are being total marks
no one who actually works with machine learning sees it as anything more than the tool it is
