When self-driving cars didn't materialize by 2020... I was thinking there's no way that prediction that 50% of jobs disappearing by the 2020's was going to become reality, then chatGPT showed up, and all the other generative AI's that already are replacing artists, designers, call center employees, etc... it's inevitable that we continue down this road, because that's what we do. There's no way we just say, whelp, i think we're done with AI, what's next ? ... Sticking your head in the sand hoping for something better, doesn't change the reality.
I'm not sticking my head in the sand, I'm just not letting you/me/society off the hook for our agency here. It's not inevitable that we continue down this road — it requires the active and voluntary participation of millions of people. There is nothing compelling us to build a society like this. It doesn't have to happen. It is our choice to do so.
