This is a good read even if you’re not a fan of doctorow yet.
Like another commenter said, his thoughts about centaurs and reverse centaurs are cool (basically whether you use technology or technology uses you).
Also his thoughts about copyright and if it would be good to reinforce it are interesting - he says that artists won’t be paid well if their art can’t be stolen for AI training, their contracts will be adjusted and that’s it. He says what gives bargaining power is the fact that the output of LLMs can’t be copyrighted, which means that human artists have to be in the loop of making tomorrows media.
