Recently I have been reading in the newspaper about it. It is so scary. It does seem like an end of an era for humans. What kind of life next generation will lead? i feel sorry for them. Personally I have always enjoyed imperfection in humans, art as it keeps one curious. Now nothing will be left to discuss, to enjoy or on a lighter note to gossip about . Sad.
Right now it feels like a fast incoming wave which we have to learn in nanoseconds to ride or sink and hope to survive to see what's on the other side.
Excellent essay, as always. And that David Bowie interview is such an amazing find! Bowie was right. But I feel so was Paxton – although not how he presented it. The internet turned out to be an amazing tool for many people and created opportunities for certain sections of society. But AI feels different, and as you have pointed out, it is because this time, automation is coming for knowledge workers – the people writing many of these articles :). As a writer myself, I find myself confused by the coming of Chat-GPT (plus whatever else Google, Amazon, and Meta will release). Which jobs will it replace? Which jobs will it transform (akin to how the internet transformed the creative process)? And, of course, will _my_ skills be made redundant? Would love to know your thoughts on this in a future newsletter.

These last two essays by you are masterpieces! Do you mind if I alert other people to them and sfeer them to your website?
What happens in cross posting? How does one do it!
Last, how can I be sure AI didnt write part of your essay? 😉 Perhaps a disclosure law is in order?
