I've noticed that the younger you are, the most likely you're in love with AI. So the tide will turn eventually, for better or worse. I talked to someone recently who claims with no irony that 'AI has zero downside'.

I don't hate AI. I hate the people who're in love with it. The culture of people who build and worship this technology is toxic.

Isn't that the nature of all technologies? I'm sure people 50 years ago thought the internet wasn't going to be a big deal, like Krugman.

Nothing before it is worshipped and hated at this proportion

You weren't around when cell phones were only used by rich jerks?

I was. My parents had first versions of analog cell phones and they were truly live savers no one ever complained about how they will destroy society.

From the start, people complained about how cell-phone users felt entitled to talk on them in public libraries, movie theaters and on public transportation.

I don't think that has changed? Everyone would still complain about someone Talking loudly in a public library or a movie theater.
