Hey, remember when the Panama Papers were released and they showed how basically every wealthy person on the planet was avoiding taxes by offshoring their money and nothing was done about it except the reporter who broke the story was murdered with a car bomb?

You will never get a new, revolutionary, truly good sentence or work of art by seeking out the perfect middle of all known beliefs. It's why AI is flawed as a creative machine, and why governing to polls is futile. We want new, beautiful, surprising things, politically, artistically, and otherwise.

I've had to talk in public about AI recently, for reasons I barely understand. I always ask, "raise your hand if you've read something funny created by AI?" No one does. That's because AI is inherently a mediocrity machine. It tries to find the middle of everything. It might be fine but never good.

it's very similar to the process in Hollywood of making "data-driven" programming choices - ultimately good political messaging and hit movies are both an unknowable and unquantifiable commodity and the best process we've ever developed for getting it is "let smart, experienced people try stuff"
