And yes, I did have AI make me the microwave computer graphic with the weird-looking pasta/veggie burrito, both because it helped make my point and because it deeply amused me.

An addendum that I didn't have room for in my article: I do believe that the most disruptive promises of AI will not come to pass. That is, it's not going to put all white collar workers and writers out of a job.
