That's how we end up in the nightmares that Science Fiction authors
envisage for us.
The long term impact of the social media and fake news on society and
human behaviour is just being noticed.
Whilst using machines to do the boring jobs is exciting, and always part
of what we humans strive for, every advance in technology has a cost.
Have we really looked at the cost of AI in human terms in a big picture way?
When all the mundane is done for us by machines, what value can humans
create to earn the money needed to survive?
How many jobs will be lost in the heritage sector when everything is
digitised and curated by a machine?
