“Now that I am old, with many chronic health problems, it really looks promising.”

Like most technologies, AI and robotics have tremendous potential for good. They will be misused (already are), but we can choose to use them for things like improving the quality of life for many people.

To: unlearner

Thanks

And that’s why I say to those who condemn it out of hand, don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater!

At one time doctors used leeches. Now they use MRI and Cat scans, pacemakers, insulin pumps, etc., all products of technology.

On the other hand, we can’t let the medical profession become steeped in politics and ideology like it has under Covid. The whole thing was disgustedly political.

I’m not sure if we’ve already crossed the Rubicon, so to speak, but as AI and robotics proceed, remember we’ve done nothing about the Covid crimes, either, and probably will not.
