    We spent years worrying AI would become sentient and overthrow humanity. Turns out the more realistic scenario is humans inventing a religion around autocomplete. 🙈

      Robert Evans mentioned something like this in behind the bastards. We didn’t need a Turing test for machines, we needed something for humans to test how easy it is to fall for beliving machines were sentient.

        Ouch, it was difficult reading about Terry. I feel so sorry for him and for how he suffered with severe mental illness.

        Thank you for sharing that.
