In an opinion piece for the New York Times, Vox co-founder Ezra Klein worries that early AI systems "will do more to distract and entertain than to focus." (Since they tend to "hallucinate" inaccuracies, and may first be relegated to areas "where reliability isn't a concern" like videogames, song mash-ups, children's shows, and "bespoke" images. )"The problem is that those are the areas that matter most for economic growth ..."But there's another worry: that the increased efficiency "would come at the cost of new ideas and deeper insights."
