New York Times 1/31/2024

Much of the current discourse about artificial intelligence sucks. A.I. is one of those subjects that seem to appear out of nowhere, blotting out everything else — like the sun rising over the desert — and a mixture of ludicrous hype and vacuous panic has rushed in to shade the blinding dazzle. A.I. is going to transform every industry, or it’s going to end the world, or both, and you need to know which now. Meanwhile, accurate answers to basic questions — What even is it? How does it work? Where did it come from? Where is it going? — tend to be tucked away in dry technical language that borders on the incomprehensible.
