One for the AI Phobic

Here’s one for all the people that think AI is some kind of threat or fad. I’ve heard uninformed and uninspired people say this my whole life about every step of computing. So far the world hasn’t ended and the sky hasn’t fallen in. “But this time is different” – yeah they always said that too.

Literally some people said that libraries moving from physical card based catalogues, in wooden cabinets, to searchable computer based catalogues, would be the end of decent research. Then the personal computer, then the Internet, then search engines. Blah Blah, makes you almost wish computers would hurry up then, and end humanity for real!
