 &lt;p&gt;Science fiction is littered with cautionary tales about inhuman intelligence. For that matter, so is myth: genies give people whatever they want, but because people have self-destructive desires (like the desire to avoid work), it goes wrong. In TRON, Infocom has the MCP (Master Control Program), an overgrown chess program that is given access to whatever information it can consume, until its intelligence and capabilities are seemingly endless. The company leadership comes to rely on the program so completely that it becomes their entire interface for understanding and operating the business. There is also the irony that Infocom’s success was built on the misuse of intellectual property, much as LLM companies have done &lt;span class=&quot;aside&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://sites.usc.edu/iptls/2025/02/04/ai-copyright-and-the-law-the-ongoing-battle-over-intellectual-property-rights/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;AI, Copyright, and the Law: The Ongoing Battle Over Intellectual Property Rights &lt;/a&gt;, &lt;em&gt;IP &amp;amp; Technology Law Society&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br&gt;

 &lt;p&gt;I don’t think I am wise enough to safely use a genie in a bottle. And I don’t want to outsource my creative efforts to an addictive, bullshitting alien intellect, even if it might save time and effort in the short term.&lt;/p&gt;
