OT:
So after 4 years or so, still all this talk in the MSM about how great AI is, or will be in the future ...
...and still not a single article or discussion about how AI will benefit mankind, create more jobs, create prosperity, increase pay or job security, or anything positive whatsoever.
And people are supposed to be excited about AI because ?
There is of course some obvious advantages

It's so obvious! Where do I sign up! How did I ever live without this?
Sure it is likely that AI is overhyped, yet there are still applications that are likely going to change the way that things are done, whether we like it or not. Some applications are within our understanding, including that some AI systems are already being used to increase productivity and to sort through large amounts of data, and frequently we are not going to know some applications until they have been put together perhaps with several unknown steps along the way. And, will people and jobs be lost? Sure. Some jobs will be lost and other kinds of jobs will be gained. Are there overall benefits to humanity? Perhaps. Some of us likely can even recognize several benefits in regards to some old systems that no longer are part of the interactive ways of people.
