The world that, you know, kids that are about to be born, the only world they will know is a world with AI in it.
And that'll be natural.
And of course, it's smarter than us.
Of course, it can do things we can't, but also who really cares?
You know, I can't spell complicated words anymore because I just trust that autocorrect will save me.
I feel fine about that.
It's easy to have moral panics about these things.
Even if people are more dependent on their AI to like help them express thoughts, maybe that is just the way of the future.
I'm not sure that is something we should prevent.
For me, writing is outsourced thinking and very important.
But as long as people replace a better way to do their thinking with a new kind of writing, that seems directionally fine.
One of the sad things about getting more well-known is if I don't phrase everything perfectly for very little benefit to me or to OpenAI, I just like open up a ton of attacks or whatever.
And that is a bummer.
Mostly wrong.
Mostly wrong with some gems in there.
Well, that's a different thing.
There's also something about just being a thoughtful, somewhat careful person, which, yes, I think more people should do.
The thing I think is really silly, a reasonably common workflow is that someone will write the bullet points of what they want to say to somebody else, have ChatGBT write it into a nice multi-paragraph email, send it over to somebody else.
That person will then put that email in ChatGBT and say, tell me what the three key bullet points are.
And so I think there is some vestigial formality of writing and communication or whatever that probably doesn't still have a lot of value.
