LOL, well said.

I have been thinking along the same lines, but you said it better.

the sophomore [wise-fool].

a state of knowing enough to encounter danger, but not enough to mitigate.

From https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45326906 : A super-intelligent AI won't kill us, people believing the AI will kill us.

Why more dangerous?

For the same level of IC, AI tools will let people show off their skills more quickly, i.e. show faster how smart or dumb they are.

For nontechnical managers, it will let them ask lots of dumb questions and have stupid ideas that need refuting much faster, "I had a conversation with chatgpt and it says we can just ...". I don't consider that dangerous, that would be too flattering, it just makes the asymmetric bullshit (Brandoloni's law?) flow more efficiently.

I agree.

However we arent even close to AI. We just got better search engines.
