Pace my blog post, these last few years have shown diminishing returns on “AI”:

AI is superintelligence (SFnal tropes like HAL 9000)
AI will make knowledge workers obsolete (the promise of “expert systems”)
AI will replace human vehicle operators
AI will replace paralegals and coders
AI has made illustrators, stock photographers and spam email copywriters redundant (<- we are here)
for $10/month, you will be able to emulate the average Reddit poster (<- the glorious apotheosis)
