OMGGGG... You are AI-obsessed. Please define AI! In case you don't know, 
even the game Pong from 100 years ago had AI. Why all of a sudden you got 
obsessed ? Because it got into public culture as a meme, and since you lack 
own personality, you just adopted that meme because you think it makes you 
look cool ? Sure, in the eyes of people just like you. But in the eyes of 
the few lucid people, you look like a clown.
