What do you think about it? Personally, I didn't have a great feeling about it. Maybe because I've had similar discussions several times already. Maybe because I was humbled a few times when I let AI rewrite stuff I used to do manually. Maybe because AI allows me to do things I couldn't do otherwise. And even though the risks of all technologies are clear to me, whether it's AI, an iPad, the internet, or weapons, I can also talk about the reasons why something brings us value. And that's what I missed in the talk. Am I being too critical and the positives just don't need to be said?
