Viewing enriched Twitter post
This is a nice essay, and I agree with its characterization of AI as Normal Technology. In fact, on the second line of AINT, we compare AI's potential impact to that of the internet or electricity. But there's a large, qualitative difference between even the most powerful general-purpose technologies which humans can and should influence/control, and creating an omnipotent entity that we have no control over. This was precisely the gap we wanted to highlight.
