"If generative AI could REALLY make the next GTA in 6 months with 10 staff, or write the next bestseller, or produce 10 blockbusters a day? They wouldn't be trying to sell it to YOU. They would keep it for themselves and guard it from you ferociously."

I've seen this quote without attribution a couple of times. Whoever said it, they're spot on.

@JulietEMcKenna I said this to a friend of mine who said he'd seen a lot of ads selling gold. If it's going to be so valuable and important in the future, why are they trying so hard to get you to take it?

@wesdym @JulietEMcKenna the price of gold depends on people buying and hoarding. So they have to sell the idea of needing to buy and hoard, find the next mark. See also: crypto.

@maccruiskeen Right. My point is that it's a marketing gimmick, not an actually valid pitch based on the customer's best interest.
