Why do I have an image of a guillotine in my head?According to a survey carried out by the paper, 80% of Brits agree with the monarch's bid to "trim down the monarchy"
AI has divided the sci-fi community. Editors of the Clarkesworld Magazine, for example, consider short stories written by machines to be spam.
AI has all the hallmarks of a classic pump-and-dump, starting with terminology. AI isn’t “artificial” and it’s not “intelligent.” “Machine learning” doesn’t learn.
