Your "creative professions" point is a good. one. AI today can generate, say, a large crowd of people in a movie, no extras required. If I were an extra, I'd be worried about my job. But what AI can't do, is write and direct and produce a movie on its own, that anybody would want to watch.

Some may argue (with copious examples) that people can't write, direct or produce a movie that anybody would want to watch ;-)

Oh FFS, you missed the bloody obvious 3rd solution: 3. Let Parents do the parenting ! I for one am sick of this bloody Nanny State mentality, where the government has confused their role of serving the public with Parenting the citizens.

I heard the same promise back in Australia in the late 80's...

I called BS then, and I reckon the same is true now.
Call me a cynic, but rather than just being another case of a lying politician trying to score political points and approval ratings, I suspect this is another step in the globalists agenda to overtake independent farming. The 1 billion trees will just be the pretext for taking land from farmers.

Politicians - corrupt lying bastards whatever country they lurk in.

Or innovation by imbeciles

Perhaps the start of another Google Astroturfing campaign ?

I just found word for word identical articles on this subject published under different names on

I stopped using chrome on windows and macOS years ago as it turned into a bloated pig. I don't think Apple has any reason to worry about Google (who can't seem to follow through on any product launch in years). I think it is Google 'sweating bullets', and hence the astroturfing (trying to stay relevant).

And according to my 16 year old; 'Facebook is for old women"... (his mother facebooks every day :-) As for me, I guess I am just plain anti-social (don't myspace/facebook/instagram/snap-whats-twitt).

Seems like Slashdot is nothin but a bunch of good-fer-nuthin whiny snotty-nosed geeky-wannabees.

Complain when Apple don't want to carry a particular product in their App Store; Get a clue people! - it's their friggen store! Does a Ford dealership have to sell GM cars? Get over it.

Complain when Apple sell a locked down appliance ; (check: iPod, iPhone, iPad) - if you don't like it, don't buy it! (Duh!)

Compare Apple to Microsoft in a bad way: Now you are really showing what a whiny clueless bunch of snots you really are;

• Microsoft was/is a monopoly => Apple is not (there are other places to get your Computer/Phone/MusicPlayer/Music/TV Shows/etc).
• Microsoft acted illegally in it's position as an effective monopoly... and not just in the BS browser fiasco (probably MS worked the DOJ into following that lame line);
  what was worse than the Browser 'war' was MS using their power to Stop ALL major OEMs from even offering an Alternative OS (even a boot time alternative), effectively killing any OS competitor before they started:
  Anyone here old enough to remember BeOS (Multi-user, Multi-tasking, Multi-threaded OS that booted in 20 seconds on mid-90's hardware?) - They could not even GIVE it away because of MS's threat to the OEMs.
  Anyone remember more recently on MS's ballot stuffing shenanigans with the ISO (resulting in an ISO standard, breaking all of the committees own rules, and producing a standard to which there exists even now - not a single implementation!)... and the nasty still continues (head on over to Groklaw for more nasty MS behaviour)...

Now get the fsck off my lawn!
