Hi Bill,
I share your concerns. AI in the wrong hands can be used for nefarious purposes from scamming trusting individuals to causing mass panic to waging global warfare.
I watched this sequence of video clips from
AIQuest Academy in suspended disbelief. Every scene was generated through the use of
Google VEO 2.0.

The demarcation between Reality and Simulation is getting blurred to the point where the human brain can be tricked into believing anything.
That is a scary feeling.
At the same time AI has the potential to enhance our lives, boost our creativity, save us time and money when applied judiciously.
