The Brain Eating Machines

AI is causing a lot of problems. It has invaded our phones, lives, and brains. In many ways it resembles a digital parasite, a deceptive brain-eating machine. In this video I critique the current direction of AI development by pointing out the obvious problems, and I do my best to offer advice on how to survive. I focus on the ways it affects you personally through slop, deception, and psychosis. This is coming from the perspective of a tech nerd who has always loved robots and machine learning, but I just can't ignore these issues. ~SUPPORT ME~ Learn to code faster with Scrimba!
