I was talking to my father in law today and he’s worried that it’s going to skynet us or like, make us dependent on it and then quit helping or something.
I tried explaining that it’s not a robot, it’s not an AI, it’s not C-3PO. It’s a very elaborate autocomplete. It can’t even do kindergarten level arithmetic consistently, which a basic calculator can accomplish, and it’s because it’s just autocomplete.
“Yeah, but what if it starts teaching itself.”
I love the man but God damn people think this thing is so much more than it is.
