      Yeah. I don’t buy the “AI is going to kill us” crap. For one, we don’t have AI yet. But there is the real danger of stupid people appointing “AI” to handle important tasks, which can and has resulted in people being killed. The blame lies with the humans who chose to put bad software into those positions.
