This is a great quote, but for the opposite reason. Lying has been an option forever - people learn how to use it and how not to use, as befits their situation and agenda. The same will happen with AI. Society will adapt, us first-AI-users will use it far differently than people in 10, 20, 30+ years. Things will change, bad things will happen, good things will happen, maybe it will be Terminator, maybe it will be Star Trek, maybe it will be Star Wars or Mad Max or the Culture.

Current parents, though, aren't going to teach kids how to use it, kids will figure that out and it will take a while.

Remember that even the Star Trek utopia only happened after a nuclear WW3 that started in 2026 and lasted for 30+ years.

> WW3 that started in 2026

I thought it was cute when we had the "anniversary" for Back to the Future's timestamp, but for that one ... "too soon, man"
