Artifical Intelligence. Will it kill cancer, or will it kill us all first.

I listened the piece on Radio 4 about it Adrian. 

Looks like taking out that 15 year rust warranty might have been a waste of money. 

If you think about it, we spend more money on better ways to kill each other than we do on fixing ourselves. 

Maybe the machines have a point, you idiots dont deserve to be in charge here, lets get rid and leave it to the animals. 

Hopefully the computers will publish a reliable end date for civilisation so we can all spend up before the big day.

Im rooting for computers, after all, they will need at least one person avaliable to try turning it off and turning it on again...might as well be me.

😂 I'd never let that Termination 2 give me a DRE with an index finger that he could morph into a 3 feet long metal sword.

So Robots will take over certain works and displace people as machines did during and after the Industrial Revolution but I don't think they will be sufficiently advanced of their own volition, to turn against mankind as a whole, as sometimes depicted in films. Man might use 'them' or 'it' to decimate populations just like any other advanced weapon that has been adopted aggressively. Sadly, some aggressive traits in man persist to this day. One could say 'AI' could be used as a weapon of war but that applies to other things too, Nuclear Weapns for example. I think 'AI' is more likely to be used to disrupt and cause problems just like we experience presently but to a greater extent It has the potential to be good and lead to advances in a number of fields. So let's look on the optimistic side.

What we need to know is AI male or female? You can't be saying things like mankind or man anymore Old Barry, or we are done for by woke humans nevermind AI! 😂

Just come upon a presentation purportedly by the well known and respected Professor Roger Kirby. It majored on BPH, so I thought I would give it time. He divulged a man had to take hemp seed oil each night and then that it had been refined into a pill which included other ingredients. The rest was about the product sale etc. I was very doubtful so checked this out and here is the answer.

"AI Overview No, Professor Roger Kirby does not advocate or endorse Testolib for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH).Professor Roger Kirby is a highly distinguished British urologist, former President of the Royal Society of Medicine, and a leading expert in prostate health. In accordance with standard medical guidelines—including those from the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) and the British Association of Urological Surgeons (BAUS)—he advocates for clinically proven, evidence-based treatments for BPH, such as prescription medications (alpha-blockers, 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors) or surgical procedures like TURP.Online marketing campaigns for supplements like Testolib frequently utilize video presentations, deepfakes, or unauthorized endorsements from prominent British medical figures (such as Lord Robert Winston) to appear legitimate to consumers. Professor Kirby has no public connection to this supplement. Major urological guidelines generally do not recommend over-the-counter dietary supplements for shrinking the prostate or managing BPH due to a lack of robust, long-term clinical data."

I don't know if this would come under AI or clever Tec but whatever, it should not be allowed. At the very least men are being conned out of money and worse may also be convinced to stop proper authorised treatment. I don't know how they get away with these fake representations.
