AI. So what?

1.)                As an old man, I have experienced being made insignificant already and I can report that it’s not that bad. I can play golf whenever I want, preferably after the pension payment shows up every month. Truth be told, golf is a great deal like being a productive part of society. The biggest difference is that the when you lose your balls in golf, you don’t get promoted or become a consultant. Also, golf affords us the opportunity to use a lot of foul language without having to become a Hollywood screenwriter.

2.)                If i close my eyes and try to imagine a world run by AI, I see one image. Do you remember Cliff Klaven on Cheers? It’s bad when you have to sit next to someone who thinks they know-it-all at a bar. They detract from those of us who do. If you think about it, the fact is that living with an all knowing entity is nothing new. They are called spouses.

3.)                But you can legally unplug a computer.
