"I've noticed a familiar frustration in Silicon Valley with public skepticism toward AI. The complaint goes like this: People outside the industry don't appreciate the rapid, visible-and, to insiders, near-miraculous-advances that AI systems are making. Instead, critics and everyday users believe either that AI progress has stalled, or that the technology is just a hungry, plagiarizing machine spewing useless slop."
""Every time I use Codex to solve some issue late at night or GPT helps me figure out a difficult strategic problem, I feel: what a relief. There are so few minds on Earth that are both intelligent and persistent enough to generate new insights and keep the torch of scientific civilization alive. Now you have potentially infinite minds to throw at infinite potential problems. Your computer friend that never takes the day off, never gets bored, never checks out and stops trying.""
Silicon Valley expresses frustration with public skepticism toward AI, arguing that outsiders underestimate rapid, visible advances. Optimists assert AI progress will continue and already aids research and productivity, especially in coding, math and science. Some insiders celebrate AI as a tireless collaborator that can generate insights and sustain scientific civilization, citing tools like Codex and GPT. Critics and everyday users often characterize AI as stalled or as a plagiarizing, low-quality system. This divergence produces tension: many people feel threatened by AI's capabilities while proponents emphasize practical benefits and accelerated discovery.
