But to also just countenance that it ’s not a binary program of ' AI is going to be terrible , or ' AI is going to be wonderful . ' It ’s really about stepping back and thinking , ' What do I want out of this ? ' What ’s the ultimate finish ? Where do we want to get to ? And then how would I utilize AI to do that ? Or how do we train AI to be better ? We ’re often differentiate as a society , ' Here ’s what unsuccessful person looks like . ' I just break to a theater and watched one of those motion picture . But if you keep hitting that clitoris over and over again , finally we just become numb to it and we misplace the imaginatory brawniness of what that winner really looks like .
