Yeah I know this place is generally super anti-AI. But I figured it's dishonest to not also post it here. I'd love to see more nuanced posts on this topic here.

Hey folks, I don't normally write about more CS-y kinds of things, but I wanted to in this post. I'm pretty sure I did an okay job of representing these ideas to a broader audience, but given that I only got a BS in CS, I may have done less than an okay job. Feedback very welcome.
