I'm not sure what the rhetorical gamble of "anyone with sense agrees with me" is called, but it's lazy. Maybe a no true Scotsman? I believe I have general intelligence and it's not at all obvious to me.

Putting your hopes on taste is cope. At best AI will just let you brute force 1000 projects to discover the delicious ones.

You’re trying to analytically argue away an emotion (depression), which means you’ve automatically lost.

Seriously, read the fucking room (and comment thread) before charging in with a holier-than-thou argumentative attitude.

I'm very confused. You're saying that being concerned about AI impact on society makes me depressed? Really not sure what the "read the room" portion means. Did my comment somehow trigger you?
