Not a new observation, of course, but one that keeps coming back to me.
I thought we'd all agreed this was bad.
I think this is part of my generation's confusion about AI.
We were raised on a culture that warned about these dangers repeatedly -- from WarGames to the Terminator films to the Matrix, and countless other dystopian futures in between -- and now those cautionary tales are being celebrated.
