Comment on Hacker News, Sans AIparent

Comments

My personal stance is that the genie is out of the bottle, and there's likely no putting it back. Kind of like nuclear weapons: I wish they didn't exist, but since they do I'd rather be on the side that has them.

Honestly it's an incredible technology the likes of which I never thought I would see in my lifetime. It's definitely not perfect, but it is improving at a frightening pace. Some days I am optimistic for how it might shape the future, and other days I am scared.

If goverments wanted to make a credible effort to limit how they are used, I would support that. But I'm not terribly optimistic that can or will happen.

Kind of like nuclear weapons

True, but you're not being bombarded 24/7 with irrelevant -- and most likely false -- information about nuclear weapons.

Distinction is perfect continence.
