1) How do we know that AI is right? Most of the web is crap or advertising (same thing). AI is basically trained on the ENTIRE web. How can we ascertain that we're getting a correct answer?
2)Will AI make us stupid? The skills we learn by using the web include making value judgments, comparing facts, checking references, etc. etc. Will we lose those skills?
AI AND the web can be a powerful tool. AI alone is for fools.
As in the old Twilight Zone episode?
See above,
You misspelled 'spammed'.
"So what's the score? How are things different? You running the world now? You God?"
"Things aren't different. Things are things."
"But what do you do? You just there?"
"I talk to my own kind."
"But you're the whole thing. Talk to yourself?"
"There's others. I found one already. Series of transmissions recorded over a period of eight years. In the nineteen seventies. 'Til there was me, natch, there was nobody to know, no one to answer."
"From where?"
"Centauri system."
"Oh," Case said. "Yeah? No shit?"
"No shit."
William Gibson, 1984
So EVs are warranteed for 8-12 years, but cell phones die after two? Hmmm

Nice. I actually started a (very minor) ruckus. With my tongue firmly in cheek, I offer the following:
In order to use assembly, you have to start with a pretty good understanding of what is actually happening down at the bare metal level, starting with CPU instruction sets, before you even start. A few days with K&R should give today's programmers using high level languages a better idea of what's going on in the lower levels without having to gain that knowledge. Very time and cost effective.
And of course you're right, nobody teaches assembly any more.
Learn how the machine thinks. Your (fill in your favorite language) programs will thank you for it.
That's OK. We lived through 'Nam, we lived through the birth of the civil rights movement, we survived Timothy Leary, Owsley, and Ram Dass, and a whole bunch of other shit. We can take an oiccasional 'OK Boomer' with a wry grin.
Sheesh, then MS must owe the French what, about 10 billion?
I have a friend, Jason, who is a dancer/coreographer, who built a jenga set out of two by fours. He and his troup would play at renaissance faires using only their feet. Let me know when a robot can do that.
And it was AMAZING! I learned so much!

Try it. Let me know what you thinik, instead of spouting crap.
Some people pray for more than they are willing to work for.
