    You’re complaining about scale, and pretending it’s a fundamental difference. It’s not

    You have a severe misunderstanding of how your own brain works and why we call them neural nets in the first place if you think otherwise.

      That is also exactly how I see it. Do you think the negative view is due to some primal jealousy? I don’t know how else to describe not liking something/someone because it’s better than you.

      Perhaps it is from a viewpoint of sports, where performance enhancing drugs are frowned upon.

      We don’t get mad at calculators anymore, but we did at one point. There was quite a large movement to ban them in schools. Isn’t this a similar thing on the “creative” side?

        I do think it’s the jealousy, the fear of being replaced, but also the pride of thinking of ourselves as somehow special and important.

        We’re not.

        We’re dumb fucking monkeys who learned to sometimes not be so dumb, and then a bunch of us forgot we were pretending.

        The real lesson in ai is not that they’re getting super complex or sophisticated, but more us realizing the limitations of our own cognition, and hopefully finding ways to extend it.

        You’re spot on about calculators. It’s really just that our schools and schoolteachers are unable to evolve, just like with the insistence that cursive is still a needed skill. Hopefully it won’t take a generation or more to update the educators mindset to taking advantage of the tools available, instead of shunning them.
