Job market worries aside (though relevant), humans understanding complicated stuff is something beautiful.

The Startrek future is still a long way out.

If AI can do superhuman math that allows better medicines, cleaner energy etc that is great. But if AI replaces humans in all the creative and intellectual fields that is not only a loss of jobs but also a loss of deeply meaningful activities. This is waved away but I think that is mistaken.

What I fear is really the growing notion that "people shouldn't do math/art/music because machine do it better and cheaper".

They did not do it for the money obviously, but for the PR, that much everyone must agree on.

Surely you are not comparing finding a spoon with being an expert in some complicated matter.

Very well put. You can pick one or two, but not all three.

Not a single sentence conveys any knowledge to me. I have a theoretical physics degree so I am not afraid of math but still.

The session is from now on a stage on which to display virtues and send approved signals.

All that rambling and ranting, those explorative impulses, they will soon have to be explained and defended.

How I experience it at least, there is no free lunch. Something that gives you knowledge and experience will almost by definition be painful and uncomfortable.

We use AI because it is faster, but that speed has a consequence.

To me it is obvious that an org with a good culture will be more able to identify and reach its targets than a dysfunctional org lacking trust and safety.
