A Layman’s opinion of an opinion on AI … another TLDR

[quintessentone]

Bless you for the color advice.  (My late wife was my proofreading friend in the past...)  Red was a bad choice.  I have changed it up and hope it's less of a problem.

I was, early on, very concerned about the furious devotion to popular media (and even social media) "selling" this idea that AI had come and was going to kill us all.  I had been focusing on the idea of how we were being said to be on path of converging onto a singularity of technology.... when some think-tank marketing type decided "let's create more market share by pretending the sky is falling" about AI.  I bet they didn't even really understand what AI could be let alone what it actually was at the time.

This is a continuous problem with marketing in an information environment.  Every stupid idea gets amplified theatrically...

We are just not there yet.  At least, nothing they've crowed about is actually AI.

Great color choice, actually that's the color I would have picked too. 

Even the futurist on the video I posted says there is a lot of work still to do on the 'garbage in' 'garbage out' side of things. I also posted on another thread here how people are stepping up to regulate it and that will close the floodgates of evil intent, where possible, IMO.
