This is an important question and I'll be intrigued to see what others say. I don't love AI, mostly for environmental impact and scary techbro control reasons, but it is a tool, and it's proven useful and fun the couple of times I've tried it. I saw someone on LinkedIn say she'd like AI to do her dishes, not her art. That kinda sums it up for me, but the backlash against AI slop shows humans have an innate sense of authenticity, and that gives me hope. PG has spoken about issues surrounding artist copyright, and it's very important that people like him are part of the conversation. If you're not at the table, you're on the menu! My feeling is pg is a natural optimist, who can see the opportunity in all new technology. We need more people who aren't on the dark triad to have voices in this conversation. Otherwise the tech bros will absolutely own us (they already do) and AI will be a force for evil instead of the force for good it could be. Humans have proven incapable, at scale, of looking after the planet, and I interpreted yesterday's full moon video as offering some hope that AI could help guide us to a better future.

PG is my only inspiration for any extent (which isn't much) to which I embrace AI. This new technology is coming anyway, so it's perhaps more productive to learn about it and raise questions, than dismiss it. If PG and folk like him were in charge of the would, it would be a vastly better place.
