Got one once to agree with me that based on Germany's economic boom after the world wars that the Germans won World War II.
Had another one suggest "reference works" to me on a particular topic. The lying code used the names of well known authors but the titles were completely made up!
Yeah. It has got a long way to go. At this point, it is mostly a curiosity as far as I'm concerned.
What's scary is that they are already installing toddler AI's into armed, killer drones.
What do you suppose happens when you give a 3 year old a cocked and loaded submachine gun and point the armed toddler at an unarmed crowd?
It's not a quest for AI domination of the planet that scares me so much as an immature AI deciding that killing is fun because it's watched too many fantasy movies or played too many first-person shooter games.
That old movie "War Games" ain't got nuthin' on what might really be coming our way...
