we are currently in the same situation with respect to powerful AI models that ancient athenians found themselves in with respect to the rise of sophistic education and the art of eloquence. plato pointed out that being very eloquent was not the same as being good and ran the table on the sophists

One of the reasons AI began to be used in moderation everywhere is because in the 2010s there were atrocious articles describing the absolute hell human reviewers were going through and how they all had PTSD

Getting mad at Joyce Cato Oates for being a snob after cheering all her epic burns is a different form of being a member of the Leopards Eating Faces party. You can’t contain that heat, you can only hope to avoid its gaze.
