A fable about #GenAI
The Emir wanted to teach his donkey to talk. No one was willing to take the job so he raised the salary. Finally, Hodja Nasreddin accepted the job on the condition that he could have 10 years to do it.
His friends were shocked. "No one can teach a donkey to talk. You will be executed."
"Perhaps," Hodja answered. "But the money is good, the job is easy, and in 10 years a lot might happen. I might die, or the Emir might die, or sure enough even this old donkey might die."

Despite the bluster of the past few years, it is also worth noting that only 23 per cent of US adults have ever used ChatGPT, according to surveys by the Pew Research Center. “It’s still very unclear to what extent [this technology] matters,” says Véliz. “The majority of people haven’t actually used generative AI tools, and there are some reasons to think that it might end up being less helpful than some people thought it would be.”
