The AI Doc: Or How I Became an Apocaloptimist pretty much confirmed where I’m already at, which is to say:
1. AI doomsayers are out to lunch.
2. AI utopia prophets ought to temper their excitement.
3. Current AI technologies are not going away.
4. It’s up to everyone to wield their influence for the best possible outcome.
So I didn’t need to watch this documentary to become clear-headed about this inflection point in human history, but I nevertheless appreciated the catharsis of getting to see co-director/first-time-father-to-be Daniel Roher working through his anxiety via a creative project.
