True lies

As the "cloud" is just  shorthand for "somebody else's computer", I
think that "A.I." is in  reality shorthand for "database query with
chatbot interface".

"What database?" you may ask, and I guess the answer is "humanity", 
or a partial paragraph of humanity that gets written somewhere.

The important thing is to negate all notion of intelligence to this
acronym.  There is  no reasoning  entity,  no god,  just a  chatbot
algorithm  pulling  related  data  from  an  immense  database  and
displaying it with a textual illusion.

It's a tool, another human prothesis that can  find  links  between 
seemingly disparate items and can be very usefull in  a  number  of 
domains. The problem arises around  financing  it,  the  inevitable
ecological price to pay, and the human factor:  abuse for financial
gain, and a rush to flood the market while legislation is reeling.

It's not going away, although the landscape could be very different
in a few years once the bubble has burst and if the requirement  to
differentiate between human and mechanical output becomes law. 

We tend to become the unhappy slaves of our own creations, from the 
steam engine to weapons, automobles to computers. It  will  be  the
same for "AI".
