A lot of people have unrealistic expectations of AI and think it will be some god-like doer of anything we want. For now, it's better to think of it as a tool, like going from a shovel to a skid-steer. You can get more done with less effort, it's more enjoyable, and it opens up possibilities that weren't feasible before. But you still need to be the one operating the tool.

Although, this will be the first tool with a >0.01 chance of becoming a conscious thing, so be nice to it and take care of it.

@LaurenE_UX It's gotten better but the models are excessively verbose. Probably a revenue maximizer 😝

“New Theory Suggests That Alternate Universe Versions Of You Are Determining Your Fate”

This is the start of new insights we will have over this decade.

The important part is it will change what we think is reality.
