Wow, the generator is amazing. Two out of three articles were beyond what I perceived was possible, beyond maybe GP2. Is there a browser extension that detects and warns about possible fake news this can be built into?

Artificial intelligence – by definition, computer code – can provide
more than a speed boost. Many researchers now believe that intelligence,
better defined as capacity to learn, will be increasingly provided
by machines. Autonomy, already on the march, has become even more
central. Future programs will likely be as familiar as Adam Smith’s
invisible hand.
If true, such predictions open up fundamentally new possibilities
for future development. We will be able to quickly develop services
based on or even built around lots of self-learning software. We’ll
be able to use AI-based services without physically owning the software.
As sensors in buildings, cars, buildings and cities start recording
our activities, we will be able to experience “smart cities” and
“smart cities” the moment they materialize.
This future, however, is not yet in the cards. The gains are probably
years or even decades away. Even in the areas where AI might dominate,
such as physical warehousing, improving automation has lagged behind
improvements in other areas of business. And our thinking, though
improving, is still far from sophisticated enough to take full
advantage of AI.

There’s no denying that AI, in many ways, is in its infancy. It isn’t
something that belongs on a refrigerator or wall clock; it’s a whole
new area of research and development. While it may be commonplace
within a few years, AI will likely be a long way off; if it even
becomes an important factor in the economy as a whole, well,
probably about a century from now.
It’s also true that many worry about the potential for
superintelligent machines, who could threaten all sorts of things
from human liberty to national security. But that’s not the right
question to ask.
There is no “right” or “wrong” answer here — nobody really knows
how AI will evolve. And there’s no “theory” (although there are
several, ranging from quantum theory to AI techniques employed
by biologists, and from genetics to postulates to mathematical
models) that will explain it. Neither are there explanations
for the values, levels or usefulness of AI models. So, what
we’re left with is sheer hard scientific uncertainty.
But let’s say we do know a little. The odds of a superintelligent
agent that can become sentient, one that would harm other humans
or destroy our civilization, seem minuscule. If you think that
chance is small, and that AI is likely to be less likely to
cross that threshold than is real intelligence, then the effects
on your consciousness and your mental space and our experience
of it may seem inconsequential. And that’s no reason to spout
half-baked fear mongering.

As noted, Donald Trump uses the expression “AI Doom” – in part because
he understands AI but mostly because he responds to the media’s reports
on AI, which Trump himself frequently repeats, frequently without
evidence.
AI may have risks – as in the threats from robots and remotely piloted
aircraft – but most analysts who follow AI say it has such promise
that its damage to people’s security and quality of life is likely
to be contained. Indeed, the main ethical question with AI is what
to do when machines decide that killing their human masters is a
good idea.
It’s easy to exaggerate AI’s immediate threat. The machine that
driverless cars are supposed to replace is still pretty active.
And if, as predicted, the development of AI renders it easier for
people to work, then it’s also likely to give them more jobs.
The main threat with AI is what it could do to workers, although
the more automation, the more all sorts of jobs become easily
replaceable. But a small dose of AI is actually a very good thing.
