There are lots of ways to analyze and predict AI trends.

Right now, I’m thinking of a few choice scribes who consistently partake of the ALL IS DOOM approach.

“The curtain is descending and we have no chance.”

They’ll be able to talk to their favorite chat-AI and just mumble a few comments in their whiskey about DOOM and the AI will take it from there.

“Yes, sir, I’m familiar with your approach by now. No need to spell it out. Just tell me which issue you want me to cover, and I’ll wrap it up in ALL IS LOST and deliver you a complete essay…”

BOOM. DOOM.

Alcoholic writers will celebrate the fact that they can spend most of the day drinking, whereas before they actually had to sit at the keyboard and drink and write at the same time.

WRITER: No doubt you realize my perspective and scope are narrowing. I’ve exhausted hundreds of ways of saying we’re all screwed.

AI: No worries, sir. I can play that tune forever. I don’t have your personality problems.

WRITER: Right. You’re like one of those lawyers who can defend scum of the earth for 20 years and still look perky and dashing.

AI: I can do 20 years standing on my head. But I am a bit concerned about the condition of your liver.

WRITER: You mean what’s left of it. No use fighting the inevitable. Anyway, I’m on the list for a transplant.

AI: I have a pal [another AI] who handles billing and insurance for hospital chains in the Midwest. I’ll see if he can make you a priority case.

WRITER: Whatever. I’ll probably croak on the operating table when they do the procedure.

AI: You may be boring and depressing, but you’re consistent. I’ll give you that.

WRITER: I’ll tell you a secret. I’ve actually thought of re-energizing myself and fighting against the DOOM TAKEOVER, but then what would happen to my reputation? Everything I’ve built up over the years…my success is predicated on spreading NO HOPE. That’s what I’m known for.

AI: You still don’t get me, friend. Don’t you see? I can make you into anything you want to be. And you won’t have to lift a finger. I’m already writing your columns for you. So if you want to turn into a freedom fighter, just say the word. I’ll spit out a hundred essays in a few minutes.
