jemck at 10:15am on 01/04/2025Excellent article from John Garth on AI and creativity, from his standpoint as a Tolkien scholar and widely applicable.
"I’m willing to accept that its vast data-crunching capacities may benefit science and medicine (though I’ll bet that for every miracle cure it produces there’ll also be a murderous new weapon). But AI is a cuckoo in the human nest, and like a cuckoo it will progressively outgrow and destroy everything that competes for its food."
