I don’t think there’s a single serious critic who says AI’s not useful? The concerns I see are about content rights, worker impacts, environmental effects, epistemological threats, or media manipulation. But that’s all predicated on the idea that it *does* work, often too well for people to manage…

I think it’s unfair to use the word “serious”. The artistic folks (the ones I follow anyway) who want to burn it all down are quite serious folks in their realms. Particularly their criticism of AI “art” is well-taken. I’m not an habitual appreciator of art, but even I can tell how artless AI is. 1/

I understand what *you* want to express by the word, but I can’t imagine that either my “serious” artist friends nor the “serious” “it’s going to be everywhere, change everything” AI boosters are going to take it that way. 2/2
