I think you and I are there now. But there's a looooong gap of knowledge between you and me about this stuff versus, say, grandma and grandpa who live out on the farm.

To be clear, I'm not a luddite, I think this tech is/can be extremely fruitful for creatives -- a new paradigm of creativity. But the fruit can also be plucked by many propagandists, and IMO there can be serious consequences right now unless we educate people about this stuff right now. I'd argue that the approach can't be fear alone, but it also can't be all sunshine and rainbows.

Edit: I also just want to say that the work you're doing/referencing is very helpful toward this education
