Episode notes

There will be a premium put on authentic face to face interaction that can't be faked. When you write a book or an essay, forget being graded. I don't use GPT to write, you know, say columns. It just seems wrong to me, even though it might work fine. That readers are reading for like Tyler Cowan is arbitrary. But that's the world we're living in.

Economist Tyler Cowen of George Mason University talks with EconTalk's Russ Roberts about the benefits and dangers of artificial intelligence. Cowen argues that the worriers--those who think that artificial intelligence will destroy mankind--need to make a more convincing case for their concerns. He also believes that the worriers are too willing to reduce freedom and empower the state in the name of reducing a risk that is far from certain. Along the way, Cowen and Roberts discuss how AI might change various parts of the economy and the job market.
