AI is a distruptive technology...just not in a way most people can use in a positive productive way. As entertainment it's a cool toy

But its best use right now is manipulating public opinion and creating convincing but non-legit material. As a propaganda tool it is a dream come true

It's like a monkeys paw bit.

WISH: I want a piece of software that can look at ANYTHING and then describe it in real-time detail for blind or hard of seeing people.

REALITY: Blind people can navigate streets but also now it's possible to conduct fraud on a cosmic level.
