The hilarious part to me is the number of otherwise intelligent people concerned that this sort of stupidity is a threat to humanity. The only real threat is from people willing to trust AI.

It isn't. It isn't. It isn't. It is. We have no idea where that point is. It's worth comparing to where we were a century ago. That's where my kid will be when he's grown up compared to now.

Just a guess but I'd say "this point" is some time after real signs of understanding and intelligence are displayed.
