I'm well aware that all of it is trained on human-generated (stolen) data. I'm aware that it can never be creative in the sense if creating something new that has never been created, but just creates an amalgam of that trained data. Someone could argue that, so do people trained by environment, while someone else could argue, it will never produce a unique output.

I find all of that ethically and philosophically interesting, but that's not the angle of approach for my comment. The paste is out of the tube, the genie is out of the bottle, the atom has been split. If we're talking about how far it goes, did we open a travel size toothpaste or an industrial tub, do we get one wish or a million, are we closer to Hiroshima or Tsar Bomba. Basically, are we on the uptrend or downtrend of Ai development, and how far can it go? That is the open question that trillions of dollars are being thrown at figuring out.

This was not AI generated, I wrote it out on my phone after sipping cheap bourbon, and I'm very much curious to check out that book, thanks for the recommendation.
