The AI industry could give us easy tools to build our own models, from our own archived writing, for private use. This may be a blind spot. It's as if when personal computers started, instead of spreadsheet editors, we were offered great sets of tabulated recalc'ing data.

This picture is making the rounds. I hope people don't believe what it depicts, even though it uses a format that makes you think it's the truth. I suspect it's true for the blockchain side, though I have no experience using that technology beyond trying it and not getting it and preferring not to dig in. But AI has been revolutionary in the main work I do, writing software. There's no question it has value. I keep discovering new ways. I also learn about its limits, which it has. image
