I was about to start a new thread about a completely different topic and realised that AI is alive and well on MN at well.
When you begin a new topic, it suggests a suitable title for your post...who do you think is doing that?
AI is everywhere and also learning from every word that we type.
It is impossible to stop it unless we all, as a race, simply switch off the internet completely and go back in time. Of course, there is no simple about it.
For those of you who do fear what is coming, I have an interest in a quote from the MIT Sociology department that suggested that society would break down completely by 2040

However, it is interesting to note that society will not die off according to them, but rather reach a bottleneck; populations will plunge, and technology will be set back to pre-industrial times. So the question is: what are we doing now to ensure that upcoming generations have anything worth living for?
Those of you who say, " But it's robots who can't stand up if they fall over....AI is much, much more than robots. It's thinking and learning, swapping ideas and talking to other AI with no human interference.
Time to batten down the hatches, I think.
If you are interested in prophecy at all, biblical prophecy sets the end at roughly 2028.
This fulfills the words that the nation of Israel will be formed in a single day (May 14 1948) and that this generation will not die before the end of days.
Considering a biblical generation was a maximum of 80 years -depending on the traditions at the time - 100 at a huge push.
I am seriously tempted to get my house in order.
