#22> The best minds of my generation I’m tired of that line. I remember first seeing it on “the best minds of our generation being employed to sell you ads”. Making a computer go brrr doesn’t qualify anyone for a “best mind”. I’d hope a “best mind” would be, above all, empathetic. Concerned about the well being of their fellow humans.

#28> Rubbish in and rubbish out of it.
Except it’s not rubbish out. The output is astoundingly good - something I would have considered science fiction a few years ago.
It’s not perfect. But as a tool in certain contexts, it is already proving its worth. And it’s only going to get better.
