> something that isn't what you want will run circles around you and eat your lunch

Yes, exactly. Spoken like a true biologist. It's not really surprising that there's a massive backlash against AI, introducing an unnatural predator into the ecosystem of humans. People don't want to be lunch.

Thanks for engaging the idea! But it feels a bit differently, from my perspective.

The lunch-eaters in my imagining are people working in messy collectives. I work in collective intelligence, and build tools for that, for collective introspection. I'm not talking about some abstract AI maximalism, and am certainly not rooting for that
