I think the trust comment is the crux of it. When AI can suddenly generate photorealistic images and answer any question, people wonder what it will be able to do next. Generate movies? TV shows? Video games even? And then a lawyer gets disbarred because ChatGPT made up cases and people's excitement starts to waver. And then people start using existing AI to make deepfake porn and people's excitement starts to waver. And then AI starts generating photorealistic black Nazis, and people's excitement starts to waver again. If the negative incidents keep happening but people's lives don't get better at the same time thanks to the utility of AI, people start asking "Are the downsides worth it?" and "Can we even trust the people making this stuff?".

>"Can we even trust the people making this stuff?"

The answer is no. Unequivocally, unambiguously, undoubtedly, no. Not a one. But even more so, distrust the people fated to own it.

This is why I think RTO is inevitable. We don’t know who anyone is for sure unless we are in the same room. We don’t have any privacy for sure unless we are in the same room. I’m buying commercial REITs while they are cheap.

To be fair, we don't know other people even if they're in the same room. We know the persona that they want us to know. Plenty of true crime stories start with "we never thought he could do something like this."

Alright, I don’t think managers are anywhere near as rational as you but I love your optimism.
