Definitely the safe space is expanding but how fragile and expensive is this expansion?

AI requires a larger amount of fragile resources to work as opposed to an editor, keyboard and a human.

It some sense it’s a bit like the bitcoin revolution that slowed down once transaction times ballooned out. And blockchains didn’t replace databases as expected. Probably for very good reasons: resources required v. results delivered.

I personally agree that AI is great technology for some great new tools. But we still haven’t found its limits: cost v. results. That happened with bitcoins and blockchains is still outstanding for AIs.
