An AI epiphany will convince you of the depth and breadth of its power as a technology, but you need to be careful about how that realization shapes your relationship with it.

For many of us, it is a visceral experience achieving something that was hard to imagine doing previously, but the danger is in the extrapolation: will this cause massive job loss? Can I do any kind of work now? Will work be necessary? The right response is asking hard questions about AI: Is this the most transformative technology in history? What are the good things that can come from AI? What are the bad things that can come from it? Even if the questions don't have a clear answer, they beg critical thought about AI, which is the entire point. But we also need to ask questions about ourselves: Do I tend to overestimate or underestimate AI? What kind of future do I envision with AI? How do my answers to those questions influence how I use AI? ------------------------ Key takeaways ------------------------ If you haven't had an AI epiphany, you should: AI is transformative, and the best way to understand the power is to experience it for yourself. Look back to look forward: We have seen transformative technology before in the form of electricity and the internet. We learn by asking how AI is different, and how it is the same. Decide on the future you want: Even if you can't control what the major labs do, you can and should decide what you want the future with AI to look like, and use it accordingly.
