TL;DR? Tech companies shouldn’t be so complacent about the purported “inevitability” of AI tools. Ordinary people don’t tend to adopt technologies that keep failing in annoying and unpredictable ways, and it’s only a matter of time until we see the hackers using these new AI assistants maliciously. Right now, we are all sitting ducks.
I don’t know about you, but I intend to wait a little longer before letting this generation of AI systems snoop around in my email.
This is probably the longest TL;DR I’ve ever read, and that tells something about my reading impression of this text.
