Some observations on AI that are still underrated, synthesis from several conversations:

1. Anything that we are happy to delegate will get delegated. This will be different for different people.

2. Delegation will not reduce our humanity

3. There are unknown unknown outcomes of all our endeavours, this holds for using AI and also not using AI

4. The only way to use it better is to use it. Not to talk about it, or think about it, but to use it.

5. Education as an institutional activity will not teach us how to use AI, or how to deal with AI. Sorry.

6. A large part of the reluctance people have towards AI comes from the fear of the unknown, or the ick factor

7. It's also very likely that big parts of what makes up our identity will be mechanised in the near future. This is okay. This is also not the first time it's happened.

8. Think of the things you'd want to delegate to a capable PA, that doesn't make you any less capable, AI is no different, though at scale.

9. "Will this then take everything we hold meaningful" is an impossible question to answer. Just do what you like remains underrated.

10. Don't Panic.

"The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be."
