Great article! It helped put into words some of my thoughts about using these systems - especially this bit about technologically mediated conferences with peoples' past experience.
The relatively simple though powerful algorithms that allow large models to extract statistical patterns from text are not really the key to the models’ success. Instead, modern AI rests atop libraries, the internet, tens of thousands of human coders, and a growing international world of active users. Someone asking a bot for help writing a cover letter for a job application is really engaging in a technically mediated relationship with thousands of earlier job applicants and millions of other letter writers and RLHF workers.

I figured it was time to go when I saw an ad for some industrial transformers 😂
