I do not actually use them, but that's the eval that I measure them on because I want to know at what point will they be able to do that kind of work.
And if they do start getting pretty good, I also want to know where's my comparative advantage going to be.
The way that I think about this, and I think this is what most economists would advise as well, is technology is going to get better, but so long as humans have a comparative advantage, then you're going to be okay, right?
As long as you're a complement to the technology.
And so I am actually almost more interested oftentimes in what it is the tech can't do yet.
The thing that the only way to find out what the tech can't do yet is to constantly be playing with AI so that you know, right?
Because like if AI is way better than you have something, you should use it for that thing.
Like I use ChatGPT for research, like transcript generation.
Sometimes I'll ask for feedback, like all the time.
If AI is better than you have something, I think that oftentimes you should use it and take advantage of that.
But the other thing is when I experiment a lot with AI, I really see the jagged edges.
I see the things it's not good enough yet at.
Like it cannot do a podcast like this.
It cannot have a conversation.
It cannot build trust with an interview source and get them to share their feelings about stuff.
It can't go places in the physical world and describe like what it likes, what it is like to be in a place.
So a lot of my writing is kind of like scene based and quote unquote anthropological.
And I think that is
more interesting to people in a world where AI can just get facts off the internet.
Like, I read the facts off the internet, but what I can do is I can actually stand next to a data center and see what it sounds like and interview the people around it and say, what do you think of this thing?
