It’s next to impossible for individuals to assess the benefit or harm of chatbots and agents through self-experimentation. 2) Tech, software, and productivity research is extremely poor and is mostly just marketing. 3) The sheer magnitude of the “AI” Bubble and the near totality of the institutional buy-in – universities, governments, institutions – means that everybody is biased.
When we only half-understand something, we close the loop from observation to belief by relying on the judgement of our peers and authority figures, but these groups in tech are currently almost certain to be wrong or substantially biased about generative models.
