I love the nuanced approach here - neither pessimistic nor optimistic but rather realistic. Then again, I would strongly question the utilityn here or even definition of "great" - except you were just using it in an explanatory sense, so I get what you mean, but like for a corporation to achieve "success", at the expense of an enormous number of workers let go... is that really "great", truly?

Beauty lies in the eye of the beholder and I see such ugliness, even while I also see potential for truly great good as well. It is definitely not the "fault" of the tool, but rather the wielder, although either way I see why people have anxiety, when they consider the ways that the tools are currently and actively being used against their interests.
