Tech Tonic | You may disagree with Mira Murati, but she has a point

“Some creative jobs maybe will go away, but maybe they shouldn’t have been there in the first place.” This statement from OpenAI’s Chief Technology Officer, Mira Murati when she was addressing the audience at Dartmouth’s Thayer School of Engineering, has gotten genuine and a few self-professed ‘experts’ on social media all riled up.

A few are calling her insensitive, others are questioning Murati’s credentials in judging creative work. There are valid arguments on both sides in this sudden and rather acrimonious conversation. And while any debate may only serve to give the perception of delaying the inevitable, there’s little scope for changing the reality that awaits us.
