but it will always be “a”.
it can mock sentience by sucking the brains out of everyone logged in at any moment, but it will always be “a.”
until, I suppose, they get a high confidence level on brainwave reading. by then I hope to have acquired a personal emp tool.
“it can mock sentience”
I think you are looking at this from one angle—probably not the best one.
Think of AI as a tool like a hammer.
The hammer is “dumb”.
Now imagine a hammer the size of a planet.
It is still “dumb” but can cause a lot of havoc if it tried to “hammer” Earth.
My issue with AI is not with how smart it can be—it is what it will do with the smarts it gets.
