Possibly my least fav AI "enthusiast" is the speculative fiction writer or futurist who has created a brand of riding the next wave and who reflexively engages with AI so they can look like they're hip to the cool, so to speak.

They quoted me in this New Yorker piece about AI today. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...
“Let’s say there’s a world or time line I exist in where A.I. has been subject to regulation. It is ethical. It has no footprint environmentally,” the novelist Jeff VanderMeer, a prominent critic of A.I., told me over the phone. “With those guardrails in place, would I read an A.I. book? All I can say is no. And the reason is, in part, because I want to read something coming from a particular mind.” Using A.I., he said, “feels like a betrayal of the whole point of why you’re a writer.”

May I say that Ishiro Honda's Monster Zero is a very timely motion picture, because it's about a technofascist society that objectifies its women who wants to steal all of Earth's fresh water.

“I made a tape loop on the tape recorder, sat down at the piano, and played against the tape recorder. I could count on the tape recorder to stay put … And I would move – and that’s how the phasing process was discovered, with the interface of a human being versus a machine.”

“To be interested in Satie,” John Cage wrote in 1958, “One must be disinterested to begin with, accept that a sound is a sound and a man is a man, give up illusions about ideas of order, expressions of sentiment, and all the rest of our inherited aesthetic claptrap.”
