This blog thread is for posts I've seen crossing various microblogs' timelines. They impressed me for one reason or another. Most will be controversial because I follow some accounts with extreme viewpoints. This select collection of blog posts from various sources is likely to be of interest to me alone and is posted here without comment. I will not respond to any replies.

I'm feeling AI will be less like a full transformation of civilization and more like the invention of the laser printer.
AI has not made a joke or written a song or made a movie I care to consume. And a judge ruled you can't copyright AI work.
When AI is used, it seems to be a tool (like a laser printer) and in my experience increases my workload because I can do new things.
Some humans will have relationships with AI, but some humans are furries too. No big deal.
AI is not "smart" in any way that impresses me more than a calculator. Feels more like magic tricks than intelligence.
AI seems like demoware to me. Great for showing you what it can almost do but not practical if you were to try it yourself.
I think we overestimated it. By a lot. Because we are primed by scifi.
