After how badly she botched multiple DC grand juries, having Jeanine Pirro in charge of the prosecution seems like a slam dunk for the defense though.

Nice.

Not disagreeing at all. The mass unemployment of a bunch of industries is terrible. I’m just saying the other side of the coin is also terrible, that we’re heading towards a world where humans have lost the ability to perform important skills to (potentially hostile) chatbots (owned by billionaires) that we won’t be able to properly manage or oversee. That’s the flip side of most ‘positive’ AI stories: ‘AI is better at detecting early breast cancer… And the doctors that use AI have gotten worse because of it.’

Not just that the next generation of experts will hypothetically be employed as baristas, but I don’t think people take the risk of deskilling enough. The next generation of would-be experts won’t be as good at whatever because they’ve learned to rely on AI. We risk effectively transferring valuable skills from humans to Musk- or Altman-owned chatbots. That should horrify everyone.
