Thanks! I do agree with #1, and I think we need to make that clearer in our messaging. For context, I'll re-share one my replies to a related comment:

> The thing that excites me most about generative AI isn't "more," it's better. I often use Type to write satire and now whenever I hit a block, I don't tab over to Twitter – I have Type generate some ideas. Often, I don't use them as-is but they do inspire a new angle I hadn't thought of.

One #2, I think there's some truth to that today. But our belief is that over time, these products will start to evolve into something more advanced and useful. A product like Type, for example, won't really look like Google Docs + AI in 3 years, it will start to feel like a more novel category of tool. We'll see, though!

How will it look in 3 years then, and why doesn’t it look this way today?

[stewfortier]

Because we're still figuring it out and it takes a while to build new stuff (not a great answer, I know - but it's the honest one)

[Kwpolska]

Sounds like vaporware.

[nylonstrung]

That's not what vaporware is. A product that just released on a technology that has only been available for a few months isn't vaporware simply because it doesn't already achieve the full roadmap goals

[Kwpolska]

What is the roadmap? The author’s response doesn’t say anything about what plans they have.

[Takennickname]

And the "roadmap" is for paying customers only.

In 3 years it will also come complete with fake images, diagrams, photos, sound bites and video clips.

We'll all be locked in to walled gardens (figuratively) since anything out on the wild/open/unverified internet will just be fake. This is what could rescue traditional media if they play their cards right. Providing genuine content by authenticated and verified-human authors.

"fake thoughts"

"fake emotions"

"fake ideas"

"fake attractions"

"fake memes"

"fake dreams"

I imagine the Luddites were themselves angry about fake work and fake souls. We did okay though.

Humans will cope [1]. We are resilient as fuck. We once had to fend off lions and bacterial infections and getting throttled in the night. Now we worry about lattes, stock prices, and political hullabaloo. We'll be fine.

[1] (Not just cope. I'm willing to bet that it'll be better than everything that came before.)

[f6v]

It’s bizarre that we have to talk about coping in the context of technology. As opposed to how it’ll make lives better.

[addcommitpush]

Luddites were executed or deported [0] though.
