I think you’re missing the point.

There are lots of people who could benefit massively from using AI. Who have no moral objection to it. But they just dismiss it so quickly because it doesn’t instantly, magically make beautiful things for them.

Anyone who cannot get something useful done by AI - who does want to do that - is lazy.

It’s like saying in the 19th century - oh this electricity isn’t really useful for anything much beyond lights. What’s the point?




> There are lots of people who could benefit massively from using AI

This might be the central point of the conflict. I believe there are a few people who can benefit a great deal. And I think lots of people could probably benefit a little. But I don't think lots of people could benefit massively. It just doesn't work that well.
