Daniel Litt(@littmath):My view is that even in a world where the AI produces an amazing exposition, it won't motivate you to read it and understand it, help you figure out what you're interested in, etc. These are functions that are primarily institutional and it seems to me that institutions will remain primarily composed of people, not AI systems.
