I don't know whether we're still doing quizzes on the forum these days but I think this is a cool one given how much AI is discussed here (everywhere).

Interesting questions, azo! I was mostly on the extreme choices, but some were more balanced. I'm still unsure of what actually works and what does not. And what the true cost is once the providers don't subsidise it any more.

This will change everything — for good or for ill, and you're studiously agnostic about which. The stakes are civilizational, the risks are real, the upside is infinite, and therefore you'll need a great deal of money and very little oversight. You warn about the fire while selling the matches.

It's real, it's powerful, and you find the panic about it as tedious as the hype. You're not interested in whether AI is good or bad — you're interested in who captures the value, who loses their leverage, and which institutions are using it as a story to do what they were already doing. Same as it ever was.

I tried the quiz and it was actually kind of accurate.

It's real, it's powerful, and that's exactly why it worries you — not in a doom way, in a 'we should really be more careful than we're being' way. You take the capabilities seriously and the risks seriously, and you'd like the conversation to be a few degrees more sober.

You watched this movie already with crypto and you know how it ends. It's oversold, the value is thinner than advertised, and the concrete harms are piling up while everyone argues about the rapture. You document the gap between the promise and the receipts, meticulously.

Here's to me being a downer yet again 😄

I feel like this is accurate because I tried to answer "objectively" but it does belie my (negative) personal feelings when it comes to this matter.

It's nice to see positive valence from someone who's more informed wrt the tech! I think there are good arguments against gen AI but most popular ones (like the water one) are not.

My result was: The Kontextmachine.

After the test I asked chatGPT which archetype it thinks I am on based on this test. And it was right with its guess. Lol.

The test is nuanced too.
