Steve Jobs loved the metaphor “A bicycle for the mind.” So do I. It’s redolent with implications, all of them positive. It speaks to leveraging the power we already have.
And then there’s AI. At no time has AI ever promised to leverage my creativity or intellect. Above and beyond my objective misgivings…It doesn’t capture my imagination. It doesn’t motivate me. It simply feels like… “Dig where the money is right now.”
What paucity of human ambition.

@raganwald @baldur it’s interesting to me that the response to ‘what does it give you’ is always some form of ‘it’s easier’.
Not ‘better’, not ‘insightful’, or really, any other elevating adjective… just ‘easier’. Which is why it is so appealing to folks. Everyone wants the easy/magic bullet solution to problems that are actually difficult. Get rich quick. Lost weight fast… it’s all the same.
