Second, I've been in a state of existential panic about AI since GPT released in November 2022, not only would it ruin my ability to make a living (as a software developer) but also my only expressive outlet (writing). I've even built AI tools that can write FOIA Gras, and while it technically works, nobody would read the content -- its boring -- its accurate and correct but lacks a certain je ne sais quoi. It is helpful to fetch data, edit, and backfill information, however.
One thing I think about a lot is the invention of the printing press. Having the ability to reproduce text at scale led to the creation of modern publishing, much of which hinges around reputation. I think AI is going to lead to a restoration of that -- a rebuilding of reputation and trust to counter a world full of slop and noise. Humans, in a way, are more important than before.
What a night! Proud of you and proud to be your ride or die. 😘
🥰😘
Huge congrats, Simone!!
Thank you Erica!

Maybe I'm being too optimistic. I don't know.
