'Unicorns can’t fly. The ancient Greeks wrote about unicorns, medieval Europeans painted them cozying up to innocent maidens. Thousands of years of unicorns and no one’s ever given them wings. Baby Charlie’s AI grandma is feeding him AI slop.'

That's hilarious. The author is talking about unicorns as if they're real, and taking offense at ahistorical assumptions about them.

Each new technology that humans have developed has scared some of the population. This one is just another, and things like 'AI Grandma' will be another related fad that will come and go. Human beings adapt to these things and develop understanding as to exactly what they are, and exercise judgment about them.

I have a tape recording of my Grandmother telling her life history; it was made almost 40 years ago, when she was still alive. I'm sure that seems 'freaky' to some people, too...
