Technically that’s always been the case. It’s just that now you can tell the computer what to do in a “natural language” like English instead of a “programming language”.

We have reached a point where the computer no longer does exactly that we tell it to do :P I always though of computers being stupid, but very fast. With AI they are slow, and make human errors :P

I've been writing software for 35+ years, and the computer has frequently done something other than what I thought I told it to.

Turns out that I'm not as good at telling computers what to do as I'd like to think.

With the right GPU they can make mistakes almost at the speed of thought.

And now we intentionally tell the computer to ignore what it is told if it’s isn’t deemed proper by the mega corps.
