Here goes: Fear: That, as with other emerging technologies, AI will reflect the preferences, capabilities, and biases of those who have first access to it. Hope: We can learn from the past to ensure access to all, and early education to all, ensuring my fear does not happen. Relief: Visuals--clearing images for posts, creating compelling visuals with limited tools, presentations, etc, basic text tasks and initial idea generation are things I don't have to cycle on like I used to. AI has shortened the timeframe on all this to both enhance my work and, as you say, Elisa, enable focus on things that I'm good at.

Fear: The continued devaluation of FACTS and RESEARCH and knowing what is actually true versus what is repeated in echo chambers devoid of standards. And yes, also the continued downward compression on content and focused content strategy as being worth investment since you can have it for "free."
Hope: That it doesn't emphasize the worst human instincts and that those who thrive on collecting and withholding power won't figure out how to use it to continue to withhold and collect power. (Oh wait, that's a fear.)
Relief: I have found it very useful for versioning articles I wrote for SEO purposes (where you often need several articles that say almost the same thing) and for giving me a super-quick response when explaining slightly technical or obtuse concepts. I do need to give it a whirl for images and such but haven't tried it yet.

Ugh, that's a totally reasonable fear. I also have not gotten much into image creation. I think I'm a little scared off by the co-opting threat.
Me too. Especially since I am married to a fine artist/painter.
