I actually think its gonna be opposite. AI isnt gonna fix your toilet but it can write a report on theoretical physics...
It will write a report on physics before it can fix your toilette, but eventually it will do both probably.

With the help of ai and brain implants like the ones elon has been researching on will help fix many brain issues that science hasnt been able to fix with drugs. Being able to connect to an ai computer to find exactly why someone is paralyzed by sending a signal trough the spinal cord to were exactly the damage is and use nanotechnology to repair these nerves. With the help of ai in the next decade we will see better research that will be able to be run through computer simulation first before clinical trials happen, once ai has successfully mapped out the entire dna sequence, drugs will be able to be refined to your specific dna, which will help with less side effects. No al will help mankind until someone evil makes a supervirus that kills billions. I like google ai when researching because it gives me what exactly i am looking for without needing to look through web pages to find it.
they are already doing this, AI is currently solving math problems humans have not been able to solve. It will unlock a world of science we have only been able to imagine to this point.

Starting in'26; cars will shut down if "they" don't like how you're driving. For all intents and purposes:
Thanks Joe et al.
They tried to reverse this recently and like 50 republicans voted to keep the new car mandates in place, sensors to make sure you cannot drive if you are drunk and crap, what if its an emergency, there are times when it would be better to drive a little tipsy than the alternative.

Heres a completely AI generated song for those who are interested, its not GREAT, but not bad for a computer.

So far this survey is confirming what I heard about and fear. People in the US are much more AI skeptical than other countries and Im afraid it will result in legislation that will hinder our development compared to other countries. The AI race is one we really cant afford to lose, but if we hamper this transition, it will cause significant harm to our ability to compete with more forward thinking countries like china.

Notable Regional Trends​

  • The "Anglosphere" Lag: English-speaking nations (USA, UK, Canada, Australia) are consistently rooted at the bottom of the tables regarding trust. In these countries, AI is primarily associated with job loss and disinformation.
  • The Global South Boom: In emerging economies like India, Kenya, and Indonesia, AI is viewed more as a tool for economic empowerment and improving access to services (healthcare/finance).
  • The Regulation Paradox: Skepticism doesn't always mean a desire to stop AI. Even in optimistic countries like India and Nigeria, there is a massive demand (over 80%) for strong government regulation to ensure the technology is governed fairly.
  • Generational Divide: Across almost all countries, Gen Z and Millennials are significantly more comfortable with AI than Boomers, though even "AI-native" youth in the U.S. report high levels of concern regarding AI's impact on their future careers.

That kind of stuff will happen in dark rooms regardless of legislation. China is not forward thinking they are thinking how to conquer

Not where I'd like to be

Therein lies the problem. Yes, it will unlock all kinds of amazing science stuff. However, when paired with robotics, it will also replace humans at even the most "blue collar" levels. The entirety of humanity will trend more useless and stupid until it no longer serves a purpose.

we might end up being exhibits in a zoo with super intelligent robots watching us go about our lives... Wouldnt that be a kick in the nutz, lol Imagine a group of robots being entertained by watching humans mating, like we currently do with chimps....

no doubt AI has massive military applications, the fact that the US is developing another human operated fighter jet, considering where we were technologically, is just utter stupidity.

By definition, artificial is the opposite of natural. Created by man. A copy of something in the natural world. Heavenly Father created the natural world and for time immemorial mankind has tried to copy God, improve on His creations, and in many ways just plain be God. It ALWAYS ends badly for mankind. Take cities for example. An almost completely artificial environment and almost every facet of city living negatively impacts people. Physically, Mentally, Spiritually, and Emotionally. People, when they can't take the stress and pressure of living in the artificial world man has created, ie the cities, they inevitably seek out the natural world. Hunters/Fishermen on this very site can attest to that. People need the natural, the original, they NEED Gods creations. Not a cheap copy. To answer your question, NO, I am as far from excited as one can be.
