It's the grift era. AI is the current thing that that taint will cause to be used against us more than for us. If flying cars were invented tomorrow, that would be the thing that younger me would be surprised that older me isn't excited about.
Older you has clearly been around the block a few times and is much wiser. I think older me is as well.
I confess that I am somewhat excited about AI. Most of us have tried coding with ChatGPT at our side and it is picking amazing that it works at all. But, because I've been around the block myself, it's more of a measured excitement.
