Even GPT-4 thinks that Thomas Friedman's NYTimes opinion piece is kind of ridiculous.

"The article is a mix of measured analysis and some hype. It rightly highlights the potential transformative impact of AI technologies like ChatGPT, the benefits they can bring, and the need for collaborative efforts to govern and regulate them. However, the excitement and awe expressed in the piece can be perceived as somewhat hyped, particularly when it comes to the comparison with nuclear energy and the characterization of the current era as a "Promethean moment."

While AI technologies are indeed impressive and transformative, it is essential to remain cautious and critical when discussing their capabilities and potential consequences. A more measured approach would involve acknowledging both the potential benefits and the limitations of AI technologies, as well as the challenges that come with governing and regulating them."
