Which AI are you talking about? There’s more than one. And which one should we trust? AI has been proven to make lots of mistakes. You name a lot of benefits of AI, but I’m not sure in what way you mean. “AI will improve our lives”, ok, list all the ways how that would happen. And once again, which AI are we tapping into, there is no current central AI. Sounds like a lot of pie in the sky thinking.

Reply to comment by InflamedLiver in TIL that due to "Subjective Age" most children and adolescents feel older than they really are. But this switches at around 25. By age 30, around 70% of people feel younger than they really are, with the discrepancy between actual age and subjective age growing over time. by AspireAgain
Yeah, I think this happens to a lot of us. I definitely feel like real adulthood doesn’t happen until 30s. 20’s are the transition years.

Reply to Just some brain farts I'd love to discuss. by ihwip
First off, god? Secondly, just like we can tell when something has been photoshopped or created by AI there are ways to distinguish deep fakes from the real thing. Saying that we are “entering an age darkness” is a bit hyperbolic and kinda fear mongering.
