  • What are the "simulated answers" for the public figures based on? They don't seem to be direct quotes, so I assume they're AI-generated in their voice from the sources? I'd make that more clear since you risk misrepresenting people's opinions.

  • It shunned me for lack of demonstrated reasoning, which is a weird metric in that context.

    If you measure how much energy is invested into convincing an <input> element pointing to a machine of something, you're not measuring reasoning.

    You're measuring how desperate a person is for communication (and, usually, how unstable they are).

  • Gary Marcus in the center? He is a strong AI skeptic, I think he should be lower, away from the "Civilizational change" direction.

  • Depending on what exactly this analysis means by Human Choices I either think it captured me well or got me completely wrong:

       Human choices can make limited changes, but dominant forces constrain the outcome.
    I actually believe Human Choice is the dominant force here. But I expect aggregate human choice to limit the changes a single individual can have on the global outcome.

  • I'm in the incremental bloom quadrant and I knew that even before I took the test. It's not even that I'm hesitant about this. I mean, I don't know the future but the incremental bloom is by far the likeliest thing I can imagine.

    That being said, it strikes me as odd how empty this quadrant is. Why?

  • I believe your correct that this is a question everybody should ask themselves, and it would be very interesting to see how varied the responses are. I feel AI has been both a blessing and curse, and I hope it doesn't solely become the later.

  • I tried to answer all the questions and it placed me in the extreme doom category while I would place myself closer to the center because I do not hold any particuarly strong opinions and I struggled to answer coherently some questions (e.g. I don't "expect" anything of the future or AI, I don't think "good future" is something I can conceptualize, same for "harm" on the level of society, etc.)
