    Yes.

    All our science fiction stories prepared us for a world where AI was only possible with a giant supercomputer somewhere, or some virus that exists beyond human control, spread throughout the internet.

    We were not prepared for the reality that all at once, any average Joe could create an AI on their home PC.

    We absolutely can’t go backwards, and right now we’re are in the most important race in history, against every other country and company to create the best AI.

    Whoever can make a self-replicating, self-improving AI first will rule the world. Or rather its AI will.

      What companies have decided to call AI is not at all the same as what AI used to refer to and what science fiction stories refer to.
