This is how I feel about AI — that it’s supposed to make life easier, free things up when ultimately people are just going to use it to try to do more of what they don’t want to do… it reminds me of when Jesse in Before Sunrise talks about the promises of technology:
“You know what drives me crazy? It's all these people talking about how great technology is, and how it saves all this time. But, what good is saved time, if nobody uses it? If it just turns into more busy work.
You never hear somebody say, "With the time I've saved by using my word processor, I'm gonna go to a Zen monastery and hang out". I mean, you never hear that.”
