“Well, yeah, OK, so it’s a dumb algorithm that just splices together bits of text it found on the internet, but that’s all we humans do too, so it’s time to panic” is a nice illustration of my theory here about why people have ignorant opinions about AI:https://twitter.com/Meaningness/status/1096866752456060928 …
