AI feels very different from previous waves of disruptive technologies (e.g., Web 2.0, mobile, cloud, social). More than ever, negative consequences are in plain sight. AI proponents do not even deny that this is going to eliminate a lot of jobs. And it is going to produce an endless barrage of generic, soulless, manipulative content. Wouldn’t surprise me to see people retreating from online platforms as a result of that.

Where is the positive vision in all of this?
