    My childhood self to my adult self: “So you’re saying there are going to be artificial intelligences in my lifetime? Wow! That’s so cool, are they going to be all smart and logical like Data? And can do everything a person can do but better?”

    “More like emotionally unbalanced, habitual liars who rarely behave as they’re told, and cannot do basic tasks or even analyze a spreadsheet without getting distracted and trying to start a cult, but they really love to make weird art and bad writing. Nobody knows how they work, but people are trying to put them in charge of everything.”

    “oh.”
