It does some stuff well but needs constant supervision, and when it messes up, people often don’t know why or how. This makes it both worse and dangerous. I would not structure my economy out of this just as I wouldn’t allow an anonymous man to build my house with materials I’ve never heard of.

Maybe take seriously the idea that the people at the levers of implementation will try it even if it's *not actually any good*.

The near-term danger isn’t that AI will be smarter than most humans or even particularly good at what it’s asked to do, Williams says. It’s that it will be significantly less expensive than paying people — or at least offer that promise. “In many cases, cheaper and worse is just fine for a lot of people who are worried about the cheaper and not the quality at all,” he says. It’s a very real and serious possibility that AI will be adopted widely “specifically to, in fact, try to save on labor … ‘save on labor’ being a euphemistic way of saying, ‘fire a whole lot of people.’”
