Don't worry, like with every revolutionary technology before this, it takes 5-10 years for people to find new and creative ways to use it. It will be considered its own medium in many spaces (e.g. film is now different to theatre)


But was there ever a technology that even the people working on it said it's making them feel depressed and scared?


I used to work on this stuff. It does not make me depressed nor scared, and my coworkers didn't voice that opinion, either.

You can't cherry pick somebody's opinion and assume it applies to everybody.


I meant the leaders, almost all AI company CEOs voiced concerns for a long time, and even more now.


Obviously, because the established firms would benefit from regulatory capture. They are weaponizing the fears of the average Joe against them.


Ask the luddites

I don't think luddites constructed textile machines themselves.
