Thank you for your kind words! 2023 has been a weird year for me as lifelong AI enthusiast. I saw people go from “it is impossible” to “we should not do it” very quickly and was sad that the utopian point of view, which has been the motor of most researchers, is almost never represented in the media. I almost feel that it is more important right now to take part of the public discussion than it is to code AI systems.

Why do you assume it is handwavy? AI will solve many problems and create many others. That’s the staple of sci-fi to explore these.

Suddenly workers are not necessary anymore => How does that change our urban organisation?

Wealth inequalities can’t really be used as a tool of oppression anymore => What oppression device remain and how do we get rid of it?

more akin to transhumanist narratives that claim that some imaginary and not yet invented technology will solve all of humanities problems.

Not “all”, but what type of utopian sci-fi does not rely on technology to solve some of our current problems?
