This article should scare the shit out of you.
Programming is a powerful and ubiquitous problem-solving tool. Systems that can assist programmers or even generate programs themselves could make programming more productive and accessible.
Our movie makers have made countless films about the dangers of A.I. and what that type of future would look like.
Battlestar Galactica
The Terminator
Just to name a couple of them.
I stumbled across an ad this morning in the news journal I read.
There is a small snippet that says AI-Vetted.
I want to be clear. As of this writing, there is no such thing as AI. Artificial Intelligence implies sentience which has not yet been achieved. Another way of describing it would be the term “self-aware.”
Science hasn’t built that yet. We throw around the term AI as if that is what the process should be called. How about smart algorithm? It doesn’t sound as cool as AI. However, smart algorithm is what we should be using.
As soon as someone creates AI, I’ll be one of the first people to post about it as I make my way to a remote country to escape the SkyNet that will most assuredly follow.

**Now**: Jared Knoxville couldn’t help but grin although, to be honest, it was more like a bright white smile. The irony of the moment. The irony of the entire situation wasn’t lost on him. The Birkenstock wearing protester ,who had minutes ago been protesting his adult store video business, was laying in a pile on the ground beneath the very sign he had just been standing on a few moments before. The protester was obviously deceased. The sign reads “Jesus is Watching You.” A small broken sign that obviously belonged to the larger sign above reads “Please do not stand in this area. Weight limit 50 pounds.”
**Before**: Paul Weaver considered himself an upright man. He attended church every Sunday and was doing all of the right things to get into the kingdom of heaven. He took the irregular swirl pattern in his morning cappuccino to mean the today was the day he needed to protest the new Adult video store that had just opened in the downtown district. In his mind, it couldn’t have been more obvious. The swirl was almost pointing in the direction of the video store.
Something had to be down to stop the spread of this filth. If no-one else was going to step up to the plate, he would. Ignoring the protests from his wife Gladys, Paul gathered up the cardboard and sign making supplies he needed and headed out of their small one story ranch home.
