Great post.

I'm more irritated by the hype around Chat GPT than I am concerned about its abilities at the moment.

Spot on that machines have been automating people out of writing jobs for - probably getting on for a decade. But the opportunity only arose because media outlets decided that journalists (who asked awkward questions, were the recorders of out local history, and to some degree held society to account) were an expensive luxury to be slashed.

If the AIs did decide to leave the planet, would Elon Musk still want to go with them?
