We have no commentary to add to this piece. Please read it.
In the course of discussing AI with my dad, I am fairly certain he moved toward becoming more generally skeptical of it. Toward the end of his life, he started sending me articles and YouTube videos about the limitations of these tools. Still, I will forever wonder whether my efforts came too late, and whether he might still be with us if I’d been more effective in undermining the authoritative tone AI strikes when generating its tokens. There’s nothing I can do to change the past, of course. But I can for damn sure keep working to raise the consciousness of others.
