My newsagent's penchant for placing their price stickers over the title makes this look like "Arterly Essay" which is somewhat appropriate as Anna is a music academic but is impressively well read in the AI realm including the amazing Dwarkesh podcasts.
She talks about the impact on writing, music, art, education and work "the bottom rungs of the career ladder have been knocked out".
On education she observes something that I've also thought, that the current crisis in students using AI to answer their assessments is not to be blamed on AI but rather the mass production of assessment.
Apart from her alarm at the high chance that we'll all be wiped out by artificial super intelligence in its quest to make paperclips, she celebrates the capability of AI to help us all educate ourselves.
Spelling checkers didn't make us good spellers. Grammar checkers don't improve our grammar. Will AI Chatbots dumb down our thinking or raise us up to a higher level of enquiry?
