Artificial Intelligence Is Great, Artificial Stupidity Is Scary

When I first got out of Law School in the 1980s, "professionals" didn't type ... that was your assistant's job (or the "typing pool," which was a real thing too). At that point, most people couldn't have imagined what computers and software are capable of now. And if you tried to tell people how pervasive computers and'typing' would be ... they would have thought that you were delusional. My career has spanned a series of cycles where I was able to imagine what advanced tech would enable (and how businesses would have to change to best leverage those new capabilities). Malcolm Gladwell suggests that it takes 10,000 hours of focus and effort for someone to become an expert at something.
