I’ve often made the point that generative AI is an amazing tech much like asbestos is an amazing material: they have qualities that feel like genuine miracles but at a human cost so high that broad adoption is only possible if human life is devalued beyond what has been acceptable up until now
But much of the adoption of generative models doesn’t come from the few it does well, but is driven by those who do not understand the job they’re replacing.
