And, I mean, they're probably right, because, well, see the pillow guy's lawyer.

The most important thing to understand about AI is that people (not you, I'm sure, but the majority) will use it incompetently and unquestioningly.

These stories are important, you personally don't have to read them if you're tired. But the more cases there are the bigger the extant threat, and the more we need to be educated so we can defend against it.

We are all going to be affected by the omnipresent reliance on AI that allows people to rush out their tasks and get home from work sooner.
