Upton Sinclair said, “It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends on his not understanding it.” At this point it’s clear that AI will radically change so many things, but our intertwined system of institutions display a willful ignorance of this. Schools, for example, are still teaching the same. Parents are starting to wave their children away from art-related careers, and maybe writing too. In reality, the change will be much larger, but we’ll just wait and feel the effects before we do anything uncomfortable.
