Everyone thought AI was going to kill us via some Terminator-like Skynet.
Nope.
It’s just going to let us kill ourselves via greed and accelerate destroying the environment.
But it's ok because it's also going to solve climate change.
And even if it doesn't, it'll still make hundreds of trillions of dollars doing it, so it was worth it in the end.
Don't worry, it's all very green!
The cash and stock tickers that is.
