Yup, compelling-deceiver, stochastic-parrot, yes-man, brain-atrophy’er, is not our friend.

“Talking fluently”. You get completely meaningless answers. Big walls of text without content.
AI is a hindrance, not a helper.

But that’s the point, these people’s worldview (despite them being older) is the same that I was reading about around year 2010:
black box ideology (like Turing test - doesn’t matter it’s imitation if it looks real for us),
trust into big data (we don’t know what we’ll do, but if we build big-big computers like zigguraths, and big-big datasets like Azimov’s Empire, we’ll have that cool sci-fi future we were promised),
transhumanism (the idea that new technology is not analogous to wheeled carts and knives, going in parallel to human development, but instead something approaching a common point of singularity),
mystery (that’s quite old, as one might notice, but in their case it’s the “layers” of existence and knowledge of how it all works, in practice meaning that big tech top people can play with things you won’t ever learn about),
conflict as source of evolution (that’s why all around the world doing various gruesome shit starts to correlate with being a western ally, 50 years ago there was some sort of parity ; that’s also why some things really seem like subject to the criterion of building autonomous combat drones and data banks for those ; on Russian state TV they love to talk about yet another wonder weapon being designed, I heartily hope something of that really exists, because what Palantir and company are doing will certainly be real, and for balancing that Putin will do).
