Thanks for writing this. I loved the whole piece, but these two quotes really resonated with me. It feels like perfect timing. They’re def coming for music too, nothing’s safe at this point. I totally agree with you that AI is a tool, not a replacement for everything. But you know how tech people are, if we leave it up to them, they’ll have us downloading books straight to our brains, just like Neo learned kung fu in The Matrix
