Human Nature, Unleashed!

Thank you for that post Conor Grennan. In a comment, Eric Fraser makes a great point -as someone who TRIED to use Coq, I can say that the learning curve is steep. On the other hand, the typical genAI chatbot UI short-circuits all kinds of hard-to-learn tools and bring their capabilities within the reach of any human being who can express their goals. The only limit then (well, assuming the AI does a reasonably good job) is what humans can imagine, which is where things can get wild (or "odd"), as wild as human nature.

That's where Conor Grennan 's perspective is spot on: GPT chatbots are unleashing human nature! Whatever drives people can be translated, one way or another, into prompts. And the "odd" uses that emerge and get amplified are an expression of what people want, liberated from the technical complexities that once prevented them from embracing their aspirations.
