As I have been reading numerous articles and a few books I have curbed my urge to rapidly summarize , abstract , and post their main ideas .

Still , I’m inclined to agree with Sundar Pichai , the chief executive of Google , who said in 2018 that the invention of AI is more profound than the discovery of fire and electricity . New York Times writer Ezra Klein also thinks that things will never be the same Below are a few clips from his piece , and I focus on a section describing the thoughts of Meghan

After doing this I clicked on the link and discovered it is bullshit . chatgps.com does not go to OpenAI but to a site that wants to sell that domain name for 20K So I changed the URL to actually go to Open AI . nbsp The
