The temptation to incorporate AI into more and more aspects of daily life
is unbridled. When it gets things wrong it's almost impossible to set that straight. One AI copies and competes with another and another and it's soon just rampaging off course. You let it control your world, you may never get it back. That's not me being anti-internet because I'm in my 32nd year of computer ownership and daily use; it's me warning that if you think it's cool, you're under its thumb already.

AI can be frustrating. It hallucinates facts. Lacks common sense. Struggles
