Brilliant F. Eye opening and sad at the same time as it more than likely will come to this. We don't need driverless cars etc do we? It's just for the greed of the AI companies. People must come first x

Thanks C. People and the planet. AI has benefits in areas like medicine, but if it is controlled by people who are primarily motivated by money and power as now, it is very dangerous.

A scary tale. Let's hope it doesn't come to this...

Oh, wow! The ghosts in this story are ALL of the characters as they drift through a world that has effectively killed them. Really brilliant story!

I hadn’t thought of it like that, but you’re right. We’re in danger of letting ourselves be erased.

Just read the introductory paragraph, and it is scary enough. Do you think history keeps on repeating itself and we are too blind to learn lessons from it and keep on repeating the same mistakes in a more dangerous and technologically advanced manner? From bows and arrows we are now using drones and, in the process, destroying many species, flora and fauna and, of course, human beings.

It does feel like that and the sad thing is that we have a choice, we know the dangers of unregulated AI, but somehow money and power always win. 🙁
