A short excerpt from a YouTube video (by Tim Davies) in which two speakers discuss fears and benefits of technology—specifically mentioning AI tools like ChatGPT. The dialogue contrasts cultural fears (e.g., ‘Terminator’-style narratives) with a longer historical view that technological progress has been overwhelmingly positive for human output. The speakers also touch on workplace dynamics and secrecy around using AI tools.
Speaking to a room of CEOs recently and one of them said the CEO, he was like, I'm more worried about the evil that this can bring than the good. And I already saw the problem there for the old. I'm like, imagine someone who is within your organization and is so right there on the spot, going, moving, and you just have to use ChatGPT, for example, on the. Under the table. And they'd be like, oh, did you write this? Oh, no, no, not me. I didn't write it. Like, Like, I, you know, Chad Jupiter didn't write it. I. I wrote it myself. He has to lie because he has a manager that doesn't even see the need for this. Do you know what I mean?
Or just is so. I mean, it's almost that fear, isn't it?
Yes.
We've grown up around the Terminator films, all of these concepts around the bad that could come from technology.
Exactly.
Versus the lens that if you look across the impact of technology over the past 200 years.
Yes.
It's been overwhelmingly POS terms of the output of mankind.
