It could be that our pattern recognizers are outsmarting the AI after a while. In the beginning noone noticed the difference and now anything written by AI has a bit of fake/dusted off feel to it. I'm sure the next generation will outsmart us again.

Maybe. But it definitely feels like a far less powerful tool than it used to even 2-3 weeks back. It's fine for coding questions, but any time I've tried to use it for marketing content, the result has been way too formulaic and completely useless within the context.

It used to be smart enough to figure out that you were writing marketing content and would tailor the answer for that. Now, it just writes a 500 word blogspam regardless of what you ask it to write.

You're up against increasingly powerful computers and models. You're going to lose in the end. I worry that in the final analysis our conclusion will land on "yes we made this technology because we were excited by the possibility of the benefits, but sadly it turned out to really not have been worth the downsides"

I think we will need AI for helping solving the scientific and sociologic challenges, like climate change and world inequalities. Hopefully those benefits will ouweigh the downsides.

Either way, this evolution/race is unstoppable. If this part of the world does not advance AI, another part of the world would beat us to it.
