And I think being really like making it disappear is in some ways what you're aiming for.
So I think that there are two ways of viewing this stuff.
I actually tend to say the four things that I think about most as sort of the elements that you want to train yourself in are deep knowledge, expertise in an area, we've talked about that before, wide knowledge, like I think it's time for the humanities major again, like knowing many things is really useful.
These systems can do anything.
So having them do many different things is interesting.
And then I think taste is important, but not necessarily like a competitive advantage.
It's just your taste is a differentiator, right?
And then agency, just doing stuff, right?
So not necessarily surprising.
I think though that there's also a danger of bright line arguments, which is to say only humans can exercise judgment.
I hear that a lot.
That's obviously already wrong because if you give an agent a seven hour task, it's exercising judgment all over the place, right?
And so AIs can obviously do judgment for some value of judgment that we can discuss.
And so I think I worry about the bright line arguments that humans can only do this.
I think we can articulate a world where taste matters because you don't want everything to read like, you know, let me sit with this for a bit.
This is a load-bearing part of the argument.
It's not X, it's Y. Like, clawed writing drives me insane at this point, even though it's not bad writing.
And I crave variation so that that's where taste might matter.
But that's quite different than saying only humans have taste.
Right.
