I truly believe that in the same way we have food labeled as “organic” and “non-GMO” is eventually the exact same concept that we will have with labeling books, shows, and movies to show that they are real and authentic, i.e. made by a human being without the use of #AI.
At that point, I believe it is up to the individual to decide. I consciously and purposely choose to not eat anything fake nor harmful whenever it is possible to do so. And I am just as extreme with my mental diet. I think it will get to a point where I am so disgusted with generated slop that I will refuse to read or watch anything unless it is fully human. After all, that is what #technology is for. It’s supposed to be for human beings, not against us. Generative AI is not art, and it never will be.

Thank you linking this. Cal Newport is truly a global treasure. He is one of the few people I consistently listen to and trust.

Why do you purposely manufacture urgency, stress, and fear just to promo a podcast episode?

This is actually what happens with most important subjects in like every topic. One huge reason why social media platforms are so shit and toxic, in my opinion.

To be fair, I don’t think we “own” most things that would actually matter anyway. Of course, we can and do own smaller scale things, like books, clothing, a phone, or computer. But in terms of something with substance, Bitcoin in self-custody is probably the only thing with true ownership. In my opinion at least.
