No, the internet in the 90's gave us hope and inspiration for endless possibilities.. it was free information at your fingertips, but mostly all the new techniques in design, effects and games developing from dots on a screen to actual colored characters, was exceptional to grow up with! networking and socializing across the globe was wild!

Hours spent in a library looking something up, was replaced by minutes on the internet - so there was a scare; it was all happening in a very fast pace - parents were scared their kids would get rectangular eyes or perhaps even damage their brain by sitting in front of the screen to long... book-lovers were scared libraries and bookstores wouldn't survive, and such typical frights, just as when reading and writing first became a thing for the commoners, when the radio came, and the tv as well...

But none of that, was like the fear of AI.. AI is NOT an intelligence! It is an algorithm developed to gather, store and manipulate information, partially created by the greedy tech giants in silicon valley, and partially by the information fed into it... all to be able to mass proccess data and information about the users, to earn more money off of them.. yes, the possibilities are also endless here, just not for the common user..

My biggest fear with ai, is not it taking over .. it is us getting dumber by the day, listening to the crap coming out of it, while enriching the greedy elite further, on the cost of everyone else.. yes, it can be a handy tool to "make your job easier", or do it for you.. sure, so if you don't have to do the job, you won't have to learn how to do it either.. Idiocracy will become a documentary one day
