    The whole doom of AI has definitely gone in a different direction than I expected. I mean, maybe this is just the first act, you know, maybe they’ll still work up to replacing and killing off human kind, but trying to pretend to be the popular kids and entertain us, wasn’t on my AI apocalyptic bingo card.

      AI is a too widely used term.

      It’s not the same a self-aware AI entity than a dumb AI assited tool.

      It’s the same with the joke that AI’s are taking the jobs that we want to do instead of the ones that nobody wants. JFC, there is no humanoid robot replacing manual labor, just trained AI software/tools/APIs that run on computers and perform some specific and somewhat complex tasks.

        Thanks man, that’s a real kindness, belaying my worries. Just to relieve your stress, I wasn’t being serious. I just find it funny in a dark humour, but the good kind, kinda way. You’re good people.

      Well it’s honestly a good step, you destabilize us by making it hard to trust anything is real once they really get cooking with deepfake porn and AI dental commercials.

        I like your take, now that you say that I can really see their master plan! Subterfuge! How did I not see it before. I think I even had that one on my bingo card! Might win yet!
