Camilo, I made it to the end! Thank you for writing this. I learned a TON, and not only appreciated your insightful comments throughout, they gave the essay a warmth, a soul.

I especially resonated with this: “I don’t know about you, but giving people easy access to credit, giving everyone a super computer in their pockets, and making pain management easier has made us indebted, lonely, and addicted. So maybe, it’s not a bad idea to spend more time thinking about what the shadow side of this Digital Manifest Destiny is and use our human ingenuity to mitigate the side effects.”

Please, run for office and give us hope. 😊

Camilo, your post totally nailed the rollercoaster ride of emotions that comes with exploring AI. That shift you described, from being amazed by AI's potential to feeling uneasy about its implications – I felt that.

It's like we're all trying to figure out this new terrain, and you've put into words the questions and concerns that many of us have. I love your take on AI as a tool to boost our creativity, not replace it.

That gives me hope! Thanks for sharing your take, Camilo. It's definitely given me food for thought.
