You sound like me just a few years ago thinking that AI could never create something like that music video in the top post.

I think AI…[Read more]

Scary/creepy thought: If the entire human population on the planet were wiped out leaving AI-controlled computers and robots, the AI could go on producing music and movies, if it had a reason to, such as entertaining itself to relieve the boredom.

But how many of those baddies would exist except in response to Israel?

@ Jake

I asked a simple question with a yes or no answer: Would the Middle East be the tinder box it is had Israel never been created?

Umm… I think that may qualify as hate speech. BTW, while you were writing that, I added on  to my prior post.

Strap in. The anti-israel BS diatribe consisting of fallacies, ahistorical comments and reasoning on a level with a 10 yr old is starting.
