I find this article extremely short sighted. When our tools surpass us in their capabilities it does not end human value or creativity but creates a means to lift it to an even higher level.
people said that about chess engines. and yeah, there was a brief period where an engine+grandmaster team could beat an engine. but then the engines kept getting better and better, and that era passed. now there's no benefit to second-guessing stockfish; a human has nothing to offer at such a high level.
soon there will be stockfish for everything.
Also we can definitively say that the point of the current AI startups is to make their founders as much money as possible. We are well past the era of Steve Jobs "bicycle for the brain". The openAI stuff is tossed over the wall, and there seems to be minimal philosophical underpinning. Unless you call "I'm a stochastic parrot" inspiring - I do not as a matter of fact.
