Fantastic interview and some great insights from Max. I was particularly taken by his discussion of how Altman and others tend to oversimplify creativity. In many ways most AI tools are an extremely small number of people's view of what human creativity can and can be. That is why despite understandable concerns I know that the creative arts will be ok. Creating art for humans is a distinctly messy, chaotic, and human affair. 🙏
I also thought the discussion around obfuscation was interesting. In some ways, using AI is almost like the kind of jargon that some people cling to in order to feel more comfortable.
Great takes
Thank you for reading!

This is soooo true. And in academia it is the worst!
