It Looks Like I Underestimated the Dangers of AI
6/12/2024
When I started hearing chatter about the dangers of AI over the past year, I thought people were going a bit overboard. I thought the reality of AI actually doing what we see in Science Fiction Movies being rather ridiculous, but now that I listened to an intelligent discussion……
