Comment on Maybe stories about the fae were long term warnings about AI

It seems you have a very concise definition of the “fae” which I’ve just never heard. That doesn’t mean you’re wrong, just an example of the difficulties of mythology as a means to transmit a message through the ages.

That or I’m cherry picking :P
The most important things about the fae for me are in order: likely to try and blend in poorly as a person; but also untrustworthy in a demon/fine print way; entrancing; subject to their own (unknown) rules; dangerous to give your true name to; and dangerous to accept gifts from. The rest of them aren’t inapplicable to modern ai, but they’re not as easy to explain, I guess.
Do you have different associations with the fae when I list them all out?
