Watching HAL happening in real life comes across as creepy, not magical. Double creepy with all the people praising this ‘magicality’.
I’m not a sceptic and apply AI on a daily basis, but whole “we can finally replace people” vibe is extremely off-putting. I had very similar feelings during pandemic, when majority of people was so seemingly happy to drop any real human interaction in favor of remote comms via chats/audio calls, it still creeps me out how ready we are as a society to drop anything remotely human in favor of technocratic advancement and “productivity”.
