In a recent interview, Andy Weir, the author of The Martian and Project Hail Mary, shared his thoughts about the progress of AI, how it might affect careers like his in the future and why it could be compared to a homicide hammer. <\/p>\n
“I think it’s only a matter of time,” he told SlashFilm<\/u>. “Honestly, I think I’m lucky that I ended up being a writer right when I did, because I might be among the last generation of fully human writers.” Despite that, overall Weir seems to have a positive attitude towards the technology, seeing it as a tool. He points out that other advancements have already surpassed human abilities, like race cars for speed and forklifts for strength, and the smarts of AI falling into a similar category. <\/p>\n
“It’s a tool that we can use and we can unplug when we don’t want to use it,” he added. “In the end, if I give you a hammer, you can build a house or you can murder someone. It’s not the tool that’s the issue; it’s the user.”<\/p>\n
