Part of the reason I find generative "AI" peddlers so tiresome, I suspect, is that they regurgitate so much of the playbook of the worst Hegelian/Marxist cliché.
"Follow me, for I represent the FUTURE! How do I know the future, or why do I think the future is better than the present, you ask? Shut up, traitor!"
Do we really have to have this debate all over again?
Anyway, I've added a couple quotations from #KarlPopper on moral futurism, anti-rationalism and mysticism.
