In his Labor Notes newsletter, Gad Levanon discusses AI Derangement Syndrome:
I didn’t make up this term. I’m describing it as a condition in which otherwise intelligent people lose the ability to think clearly about artificial intelligence and its impact on the economy and labor market. The symptoms are persistent, largely immune to data, and tend to worsen with each new model release. After two years of tracking AI related discussions, I’ve classified the syndrome into five common variants.
I'm big enough to admit I've been afflicted by several of the five variants at one time or another. Read the post to learn what they are, and then take Levanon's advice:
The treatment is simple: Pay for a frontier model. Use it seriously for a month. Apply it to your actual work. Try research. Try drafting. Try analysis. Try the tools, not just the chat.
