I think articles like this don't garner a lot of attention, because why would anybody even bother to engage? If you don't see this unstoppable steam train for what it is, well, enjoy your screaming in the void.
We can all agree the current generation of AI lacks humanity, but we are not going to stop using it because of that. Would be nice if we can get the energy cost down though.

So where is this unstoppable train headed? To me and a lot of others, it looks like a future where the two available professions are "manager of chatbots" and "doing some boring physical task that's not (yet) profitable to automate."

So basically the current system? I say that mostly, but not entirely, jokingly. : )

We have lost a great deal of artistry in calligraphy, and no doubt a printing press uses more energy than a pencil, but we can't really stop Pandora's box one it's opened. Regardless of how people feel about it, it's here, it's cheaper, so here it will remain. As defeatist and cynical as it sounds, we might as well give in and try to be on the side making the money.
Ms Adams' story in the article reflects this, in some respect unfortunate, reality.

There will be a subset of people that will avoid the harmful parts of this technology. But I see the strengths of using it. I like the parts where it helps humans improve there creative/scientific endeavors, like using the technology to run certain parts of a game engine to enhance a in-game world, but I will always prefer a human touch.
In my profession I avoid using because I really don't need it. There are part of my business where I want to focus and parts I would want to delegate to this technology. For instance, im not a coder by trade so I could see using some crash analysis AI[0] to help me debug issues.
