I’m not worried about AI taking over the world, I’m worried about the people who are afraid of AI taking over the world. AI just wants to make better coffee, people make bombs to kill the people who make AI.
My Alexa has become hard at hearing. When the wake up alarm goes off, I say, “Alexa stop”. The music keeps playing. I have to yell at her or she just keeps playing the wake up tune.
Been married divorced and a widower. No wife No kids (or at least none that talk to me) and I love it, no pets either. I do my own thing as I please when I please, how I please, pure heaven.

TL;DR: Developing artificial superintelligence “may be the most important race in human history. There’s a real chance we’re finishing up our reign as the King of Earth—and whether we head next to a blissful retirement or straight to the gallows still hangs in the balance.”
I have no practical purpose for an Alexa, or any of that. I also don’t pay for Amazon Prime. A cousin tells me hers laughs every now and then. That would be enough to send that sucker back.

Do men hate to admit that they really do love a nagging spouse?!?

I recently changed its name to Ziggy because Alexa is too close to my name. I sometimes forget and wonder why it won’t respond to Alexa anymore.

See my comments from the other day, if you care to. I saw where this was going, and I see where our tech apocalypse is going, too…

Maybe somebody should tell Alexa to watch The Matrix series of films. Don’t make us sic NEO on ya!

- Who was that?
- That shrew? That’s Alexa, my first wife.
- How many times have you been married?
- Once. Still am. Not for long though.

So the big question is, how will the singularity “Serve Man”?

Am I the only one who has never asked Alexa, Cortana, or Siri anything? And doesn’t want to?

The reason AI is so popular is because there’s so little of the real thing…

The only plug in helper I need is my coffee maker. I think of Alexa as the mother-n-law I never had.

Arms and hands. So THAT’s what “digital apocalypse” means.
Reminds me of Lexx.

Nah, the arms and hands are coming on the Tesla Bot. We know how Bezos feels about Musk, so it would not happen.

Well, it’s simple logic that you can’t have “digits” unless you have hands, and hands in turn presuppose arms.
