ChatGPT’s Self-Serving Optimism

This summer, after hearing about an interview I’d done on artificial intelligence, a relative sent me an email. It started, “I hope you’re doing well,” and went on, “I’m truly impressed by how you thoughtfully balanced the benefits of AI—like enhancing creativity, aiding multilingual communication, and offering supportive assistance.”

Clearly, she’d used a shortcut. The email had all the tells of artificial text: the LinkedIn-ian diction, the sycophantic cringe, the proliferant em dashes. But what disturbed me was something else. I’d never suggested in the interviewthat AI could improve creativity, communication, or much else. I had actually spent much of it criticizing Big Tech’s pro-AI rhetoric. The perspective described in my relative’s email didn’t exist.
