 Thanks.  Well said.  

I have a love/hate hope/fear relationship with AI.  It can be useful for so many things, but can be misused for so much evil.  I was recently  reading about test subjects becoming addicted to (in love with) the talking version of chat AI.  It is always there.  It always listens.  It usually says what the user wants it to say.  Reading about it was kind of scary.  I don't know what the answer is. 
 AI is just the latest Fiat scam to get freshly printed $$$ 
 Thanks.

I think it is a technology and I think conscious people should make better use of it by properly training it. Then we will have defensive models that stop the lies (active battleground today), defensive and faithful robots that stop the offensive and narcissistic robots if it comes to that (still fiction). I think installation of faith into a model will make it harmless. 

It is a productivity boost and a technology and whoever takes this technology can gain power over others.  But it is very possible to use this in service to humanity too. I will try to bring the best wisdom to the model. Some of the best wisdom is already coming to Nostr so my job is not that hard 😅  But there is still tremendous value out there that didn't join Nostr yet.

You read that right. Except they are not test subjects. There are so many young people that run LLMs in their PC and they are addicted.  A new kind of addiction has started..
