Love this piece, Tom. The rush to use this "tool" in the form of art creation is odd to me. It is almost as if we are heading towards being on "life support," using tools to create the joy instead of us merely enjoying life. Rushing to the crescendo of the musical composition vs. enjoying the journey.

Sublime, as usual.

I wish more tech people would share some insights about how departments could utilise AI to get rid of activity that can easily done by a computer, sadly we have been told in our org not to use it because of GDPR concerns which Im not really sure about. I get being aware of the risks but please talk about the possible uses at work! Also on a side note, any future articles on reducing carbon emissions and great ideas in action around the world would be great to read about in the future

Thank you Tom for the insights. If I may add please is that there’s a real issue about ethics. The tagline from Mo Gawdat is that we get the AI we deserve. We are all feeding data to AI now since every prompt and every digital interaction generates data for the algorithm. How we behave now is going to determine what our future looks like. Hopefully, the algorithm will have enough positive data to learn from to amplify human goodness.

Thank you! How do we measure quality of life? What if everyone lives a bit longer, stays healthy most of the time, not burdened by doing dangerous and menial tasks. Is there a productivity gain here? Because it seems like a reasonable goal, if not responsibility.
