What do you think has changed in a year? My take would be that many average office workers are pretty accepting of being told what to do, and are being told to use AI, and that the technology is more or less sticking the landing, at least enough to get used.

The most domesticated creature on this planet is the American electorate.

My office uses Copilot, and every competent worker involved in complex projects hates it and only uses it for trivial things, like generating an email response, which you then have to read anyway so you might as well type it yourself in the first place. No one uses it for anything meaningful. Human validation is propping up the perception of LLM’s. One cannot trust this technology to do anything overly consequential or precise. It’s like how Theranos’ Edison system could perform maybe four types of blood tests correctly, but the extravagant promises, lies, and outright fraud about the product were contrary to Elizabeth Holmes’ grandiose claims. We’re only a few years away from similar documentaries about Sam Altman, and if you read the recent Ronan Farrow article about him, maybe not even years.
