Y’all remember google glass? Y’all remember what killed it? And it looked way less goofy than holding your phone up to record like people do now. But it failed because the social contract at the time (and still) said you don’t semi-surreptitiously record people in public unless you’re a creep.

Technologies, even widespread ones, do not *necessarily* determine social norms and goods. If you can’t stop a social harm on the level of force/physical coercion (technology) you can often stop it on the level of consensus (custom, norms, law, governance).

I think there is another angle to this as well: I am always a bit saddened by the "ideas are not valuable and hard" part too bc in my experience, good ideas are seldom too! but in their goodness lies the urge to MAKE them, not just handoff them to a stochastic parrot.

Interesting, thank you. Have been working on something about „AI“ as tool as well, so this is a stimulating read!

The entire set of arguments around "using LLMs correctly" boils down to voluntarily introducing friction: doctoring the prompt and/or carefully reviewing the output. But the experience is not designed for that approach; nothing about the output of ChatGPT suggests even remotely that it's a v1 draft.

i mean it is a solution to the "problem" built on capital and rent extraction instead of empowerment and agency

also: the part of „art“ that stems from true privilege, e.g going to art school, being financially stable etc. is never talked about in this argument. yes there is a privilege to making art, but tackling it takes societal effort, funding, support and not big plagiarism machine
