@jowyang If you're asking strictly about productive for society uses, you're probably right that there will be customer service applications. But, I think this will mostly be sorted out based on what legislatures ultimately allow this sort of technology to be used for.

[TJ Keitt @tjkeitt]

@jowyang Sure. But that just a statement of circumstance, it isn't a virtue. I may have misunderstood your original tweet, but you seemed to be listing virtues in response to worries about AI governance.

[TJ Keitt @tjkeitt]

@jowyang So, you're thinking about a TiKTok influencer or a YouTuber, and not Stephen King or Martin Scorcese. Because I would argue with you if your thoughts are about the latter. I may still argue with you about the former, but with less conviction.

@JasonKPargin I really hate these "12 minutes of game play" analyses. Football is played both pre-snap and post-snap. Defenses and offenses attempt to fool each other pre-snap, and they try to out skill/physical each other post. Saying there's only 12 minutes of play shows a lack of knowledge

@jowyang @jocelynjtweet Inflation, as measured by the Fed, is assessed, I believe, by the prices in a basket of groceries. So, the measures are an aggregate, not a product-by-product comparison.

[TJ Keitt @tjkeitt]

@jowyang @jocelynjtweet Prices never go down (it's why we don't have 75 cent gasoline anymore). The marker is if wage adjustments outpace those price increases, which the economic data suggests is happening.

[TJ Keitt @tjkeitt]

@jowyang This is a false binary. While many people don't like (let alone love) their jobs, they find "purpose" in being able to provide for themselves and families. If that's stripped away, then you create disorientation and aimlessness.

[TJ Keitt @tjkeitt]

@jowyang You're talking about norms, which, per one of the replies to your post below, are observed. It seems that in that world, dressing down is the norm where someone who prefers business attire to work events is seen as the oddity. So, I'm not seeing much difference, tbh.

[TJ Keitt @tjkeitt]

@chrisyeh Those aren't the fears that I come across most often. The ones I hear most about are job losses, highly biased models creating bad outcomes, and fraud. Those aren't unfounded; two have already happened IRL.

[TJ Keitt @tjkeitt]

@jowyang @johnkoetsier That's fine. Time will tell who is right here.

[TJ Keitt @tjkeitt]

@jowyang @johnkoetsier At this point, it's obviously not something that can be contained. Which is why this will land in the courts and then in legislatures. It's just unfortunate that the tech industry continues to fail seeing beyond the act of invention to the consequences.

[TJ Keitt @tjkeitt]

@jowyang @johnkoetsier Furthermore, you don't have to serve every customer desire. These are choices. And if the choice to serve a customer proves to do harm, I'd like to think a responsible business person would decline the business.

[TJ Keitt @tjkeitt]

@jowyang @johnkoetsier It was more of a rhetorical question. We shouldn't be looking at handing over human creativity to machines. Full stop. This is where the technologists seem to not understand what makes humans human.

[TJ Keitt @tjkeitt]

@jowyang @johnkoetsier Which doesn't really apply to creative works like writing a screenplay. The machine still needs reference for story structure, characters, narrative arcs, etc. Also, big picture: Why are we trying to outsource human creativity to machines?
