Maybe the issue is not that AI will kill us all. Maybe the issue is: it will not care about us

English is not mother-language for most in academia. We could have used LLM to translate the mails in our native language we send and learn from the languages. instead we prompt LLM in english and send that drivel around. Same tech, different human choice

Will we ever feel comfortable with AIs taking on important tasks?
