Glorifying ignorance

I don't think I would self describe as an AI hater, though there are a lot of things I hate about what we make computers do today. For all the reasons Anthony Moser lists in his post. Yet I am also careful, because I don't want to absolutely close the door to everything. Recently, to give one example, I saw multiple friends with disabilities use AI in meaningful ways and I don't want to discount that, who am I to hate on the technology that is useful to them in ways previous technology was not?

Among other points, he explains very clearly how creatives and AI companies are different:

Miyazaki tells stories that blend the ordinary and the fantastic in ways people find deeply meaningful. Altman tells lies for money.
