Yeah, my take as well. I think "Her" portrayed it nicely; you can still get your human-written poem or whatever nonsense you want to be made by hand, doesn't mean everyone has to dispatch atrociously meaningless or repetitive tasks. What, do people think VFX grunts love rotoscoping mundane subjects all day long? People hate boilerplate work, and getting rid of it will be a huge boost for enjoyment, too.

There truly is room for doom and terror, but none of those wannabe essayists even remotely scratch the reality of it all; they are almost exclusively trying to dunk on tech that will help disabled, impaired, destitute folks to even remotely catch up to the rest of those who are living a relatively cushy life. Just look at therapy and what the sheer possibilities are, it's so incredibly callous in my mind to pretend like it's all going to be so bad when we have tangible proof that this is going to be positively changing billions of lives in the shortest amount of time imaginable.

There is so, so much good here, and I'm getting kind of tired of the narrow-minded naysayers. I mean, they're kind of few, all things considered, and they'll instantly vanish the moment we get really competent agents doing anything... but it's still exhausting being aware of all this all the time. I guess AI/ML can improve my own personal life by just helping me sidestep all the bickering and all these awful non-arguments I keep stunlocking myself on, which would be pretty funny to me.
