Fears that AI will eventually replace humanity run rampant these days, but such concerns are nothing new. Back in 1957, long before Sam Altman was born, one of the chief worries apparently was that this technology could replace a superhero!
Of course, that fear has turned out to be unfounded.
Not a robot, just a younger actor.
Hello Kirk, You've narrowed it down: either technology, or someone younger and better looking, will inevitably come to take our places.

Jim, given the neverending upgrades, maybe younger robots as well.
DeleteAre we sure that's not a robot?

DeleteHmm...that hasn't always worked for me in the past.
Hi, Kirk!
ReplyDeleteThe way things are going, if AI does replace humanity, alien visitors will find at least some form of intelligence here on mother earth. For example, why should we believe in climate change and global warming when, as any fool can plainly see, it's cold and snowing outside? (Yep, I have a date with Lauren Boebert this weekend. We're going to a theater to see the revival of Oh, Calcutta! Pass the tissues.)
i am often mistaken for David Corenswet and mobbed by frenzied autograph seekers. I watched David in The Politician, a fun series that yielded two Shady's Place presenters, Astrid Sloan and Alice Charles, hosts of my version of the A to Z Challenge. As you might recall, I recently posted scenes from Man of Steel (2013) co-starring Henry Cavill in my tribute feature on the career of Amy Adams.
I'm dropping off the radar now and will return around the 12th of February with my next post. See you then, good buddy Kirk!
Shady, I do recall you doing a post on Amy Adams. I hate to tell you this, but they're getting a new (and younger) Lois Lane as well.
DeleteBut we still don't know who will replace Daniel Craig as James Bond. Of course, that will be a younger actor too, but who???
ReplyDeleteI don't know, Debra, they sure are taking their sweet old time about it, aren't they? Daniel Craig is beginning to seem as long ago as Pierce Brosnan (in-between writing the non-parentheses part of this sentence and the parentheses I looked it up; it's actually been less than three years.) Then there's the diversity rumors, that it's going to be a black Bond or a woman Bond or a gay Bond or a nonbinary Bond, none of which I would have a problem with. Just don't make it a MAGA Bond.
ReplyDeleteHenry Cavill is one of the more nondiverse names that's been tossed about. Like Ian Fleming's character, he hails from the U.K.
We'll see.
I'm waiting for the robot to be designed that I can transfer my brain into when my body gives out.
ReplyDeleteSo am I, Mike, but if that's not possible, at least transfer my brain into a turtle. Long life and a mobile home!
