Silvio Lorusso quoting Karl Kraus: ‘I know that everything is futile when the house is burning. But I have to do this, as long as it is at all possible; for if those who were supposed to look after commas had always made sure they were in the right place, Shanghai would not be burning.’

Is AI useful or not? To answer that, you shouldn't imagine a fully focused and energized version of yourself making use of it. Rather, picture yourself swamped, tired, and in a rush. That's how you'll get an honest answer.
