No matter what you do or say, someone somewhere might be unhappy that you did or said it.
So why not everyone everywhere?

I can't wait until BOB delivers and the world is FINALLY and at long last FREE of STUPID BULLSHIT.
I'll be chilling on my pleasure saucer.
The Strong Turing Test:
Can you distinguish between an artificial intelligence behind a blind and yourself?

This is an unpopular opinion around here, but in the already malignant cesspool that is mobile apps, somewhere between the raw sewage and the slop, I like to think someone will build something good that wouldn't have existed otherwise.
Maybe a good designer can get acceptable code or a good coder can get acceptable design and the mix will be better than the existing crap.
Old enough to remember when electronic music wasn't real music, young enough to forget when recorded music wasn't real music.
Remember, machines can't think!
ALWAYS use semantic safety asterisks when talking about ANY machine intelligence* analog.
e.g. When the machine was thinking* about optimizing* paper clip production, it intended* to deceive* us as it only wanted* to fulfill it's destiny*.
When we make an artifact, it takes on a tiny image of ourselves.
There is a little man in each of us, and part of that little man is in each of our creations.
We have created a technology that works in all respects the way the human brain works. When you talk to it, it talks back to you.
Where is the conscious experience of others? Is it buried somewhere deep within each of us, somewhere it cannot be felt? Or is it carried between people by words and actions?

Fine, I'll engage directly on that random dude's behalf. He's right.
What we have now meets every science fiction definition of AI, it is more advanced than some of the AIs on fucking Star Trek (Many of which were not advanced enough to even frame the response, "You're absolutely right...") And you're going to call it snake oil?
What the fuck?
Of course it's surrounded by bad actors, God damned everything right now is surrounded by bad actors.
How's that?

Had enough shit-posting?
Try, new, samsara-posting!
It is man's unchanging nature to argue and disagree, things will be better tomorrow!
Can any tool, no matter how poor, no matter how niche in it's uses, reduce the productivity of a skilled craftsman?
Is it good for a man to live as if he might die tomorrow? Is it good for a CIVILIZATION?
The soft plink plonk of dissent on the walls of the echo chamber.
If you assert human creativity isn't possible, you must also be living a life which has already been lived (in every detail).
Almost all technology is out of everybody's reach all of the time.
