But we don’t go to baseball games, spelling bees, and
Taylor Swift concerts for the speed of the balls, the
accuracy of the spelling, or the pureness of the
pitch. We go because we care about humans doing those
things. It wouldn’t be interesting to watch a bag of
words do them—unless we mistakenly start treating
that bag like it’s a person.unless we mistakenly

That seems to be the marketing strategy of some very big, now AI dependend companies. Sam Altman and others exaggerating and distorting the capabilities and future of AI.The biggest issue when it comes to AI is still the same truth as with other technology. It's important who controls it. Attributing agency and personality to AI is a dangerous red flag.
A lot of us wouldn't go to a Taylor Swift concert. I had to endure several days of interrupted commuting thanks to them though.
Support alternative and independent bands. They're around, and many are enjoyable. (Some are not but avoid them LOL.)
