I’m a fairly normal person, living a fairly normal life, doing fairly normal work. And, like many others, I think a lot about AI — how it is working and how it might potentially change our world. I am in no way an AI propagator selling the promise of effortless work, nor a doomsday skeptic who only sees problems with it. This post is in no way an attempt to sway anyone in any direction. It is merely a way for me to process some recent thoughts on the topic, and I expect to change my footing many times before we know how this ends.
