AI is polytheistic, not monotheistic

Chris Dixon's essay argues that AI is best understood as polytheistic rather than monotheistic, with many strong models from different factions converging on similar capabilities, so no single dominant AGI is likely. The text presents AI as constrained rather than omnipotent: it is economically constrained by costly API calls, mathematically constrained by its inability to solve chaotic, turbulent or cryptographic equations, practically constrained by the need for prompting and verification, and physically constrained by its reliance on humans to supply context. The article also claims that AI is better suited to visuals than text because interfaces and images are easier for humans to verify, and that AI is empirically decentralizing.
