    every new tech has curves for their maturity, cultural & societal fit.

    I’d believe this “nothing to see here” narrative if recent “advances” such as social media didn’t have measurable negative impacts. Things can get worse, and technology can assist that.

    The voices coming out as skeptical of things, and the watchdogs telling you early on that these newly introduced things may present a problem are ultimately part of the apparatus that gets you “cultural and societal fit”. That doesn’t happen automatically and it’s called “the bleeding edge” for a reason.

    Ultimately, I’m also not so sure about AI being a fad at this point. It sure looks like enough capital is invested in this stuff to make it be a thing even if nobody wants it.
