Great discussion Eric, cheers!!! But humans are being written out of own saga. Our Tech-Overlords have proven themselves untrustworthy and they are rushing to create a system which obliterates human agency, by first telling us TINA ("there is no alternative"). The more they go down the rabbit hole toward fully synthetic data sets, to cut training costs (e.g., OpenAI's Orion project), they will reach a point soon where even they cannot contain it. I call it the THING thing. Note: https://medium.com/p/e98d4e672e7a
