Interesting to see you take a very different, optimistic take towards new technology to that taken by Paul Kingsnorth (who I know reads you as he's mentioned you). Would be great to get the two of you on a podcast talking about the two different perspectives. To be honest Paul's outlook is more than a little apocalyptic at the moment, maybe he could do with being cheered up!
Refreshing to read an optimistic take. One thing I've thought about recently with things like ChatGPT is that it may present an opportunity for human creativity. While AI may be used to augment or replicate formerly human efforts, non-AI-reliant art and media may gain special marketing cache. I other words, Angela, you could have sticker on your next book that says "She wrote the entire thing!"
I can't help think about Maslow's hierarchy of needs. When a person no longer needs to labour for survival are they going to skip ahead to self-actualization? Some do, some don't. Some turn into Cezanne, some turn into Hunter Biden.
Scarce Labor As The Cause Of Innovation

I cited the wonderful Ms. Nagle in my article for John Kass News.
