    The goal of AI is fictional, and there’s no solid evidence today that it will ever stop being fiction.

    What at have today are stupid learning algorithms that are surprisingly good at mimicing intelligent people.

    The most apt comparison today is a particularly clever parrot.

    I’m all for having the discussion about how to handle AI when we have it, but it’s bad faith to apply it to what we have today.

    Critically, what we have today will never ever go on strike, or really make any kind of correct moral decision on it’s own. We must treat it like dumb automation, because it is dumb automation.
