My sources are impeccable. Award winning journalism, professional sources like JAMA, NEJM for medical research. (Not the idiot RFK jr) I don’t watch Fox “news” which isn’t news at all. They’ve never won a journalism award and had to pay Dominion Voting Systems almost 800 million for lying. I highly doubt you have even a minuscule amount of knowledge about AI. CNBC is a great source for AI information. Not a day goes by without numerous articles and interviews about AI. It has allowed me to profit greatly from companies that are investing trillions in it. Thanks for your attention to this matter.

I get my information through research and personal experience, not by quoting others which seems to be abstruse for you. It might be refreshing for you to make an effort to get your information by a little genuine research on your own. Relying on other places that themselves use AI to gather incomplete or even bogus information, only to provide it to others in this forum is the same as getting it from the spurious AI source yourself and posting it here. My reference to your original information was merely to point out that it was erroneous and misleading, most likely misrepresented by you or your "source" and twisted away from the truth, lacking any solid evidence or basis in fact as presented by you. Things are a lot more nuanced with respect to AI than you seem capable of believing or understanding. But I have noticed you seem to try to group unrelated things together to generate some "facts" which I guess are supposed to make complete sense in whatever unrealistic world that you inhabit. I honestly believe it's just a matter of you wanting to have something to do with your time. You must have been really tedious to work with. Did they give you a party when you retired, or did they just have a party and not invite you? :) I don't really expect you to understand, but I have much better things to do with my time, so in the future please don't send me directed communication through this forum. If you want to discuss something with me, send me an email, if you just want to rant, then please bother someone else. Hopefully this ends this thread.
