Reminds me of a classic line from the first Robocop movie where the Chairman of the Board tells some chief executive, "you're fired". Which allowed Robocop to shoot said executive. ... 😉🙂
Reminds me though that I had once written a share-ware program -- in Borland's Prolog -- for which I received the princely sum of, maybe, $50. Maybe I can get "a piece of the action" too? 😉🙂
Thank you for sharing this. I'm finding myself feeling increasingly belligerent about the whole AI moodel exactly for some of the reasons you share. My writing and teaching in my professional life has come from years of my own learning and experience - and yes, creativity.
I shared it with the world to help others, not to increase the fortunes of big tech and provide a stolen 'cheat sheet'.
Maybe I'm getting old, but I find the current situation regarding content sharing/stealing utterly depressing.
Thanks for your comment, Lil. We have been here before with the tech hype cycle: products that promised great leaps in productivity and information access, but actually resulted in less productivity and more distraction.
My concern is that when the AI bubble pops, there will be major real-world effects in the Western economies because our lives have been bound up with the performance of stock markets.
Wow. I had no idea!
