I must confess to getting a little sick of seeing the endless stream of articles about this (along with the season finale of Succession and the debt ceiling), but what do you folks think? Is this something we should all be worrying about, or is it overblown?

    I studied some AI at University. Not overhyped frameworks or tools, just fundamentals. Believe me when I say the dropout rate is high in the first few weeks when people realise a lot of it is fancy statistical models or inference.

    You’re right, it’s a helpful tool and people have found it useful. That’s great. To wonder if we should be scared? I’m quite honestly more scared about what the already intelligent people around me can do, especially when empowered by these shiny new tools.
