Are We Training AI or Is AI Training Us?

Artificial Intelligence, the stuff of science fiction only a few decades ago, will likely be an increasing element in the lives of our children and grandchildren. Things only dreamed of in cartoons like the Jetsons fill the news. I recently read an article about a traveler in Phoenix riding around in a taxi with no human driver.

I recently posted a long statement that is ostensibly from Padre Pio. As one commenter said, it doesn't sound like him. I haven't been able to authenticate it, but it spurred me to buy a book, Padre Pio in His Own Words.

Here's a snippet from the article:

The “ban” tramples client self-determination and parents’ rights and misrepresents reparative therapy, which opponents redubbed “conversion therapy” to make it sound scary. Advocates deploy false scenarios of “shock therapy” while suppressing reparative success stories easily accessed at RestoredHopeNetwork.org and other sites.
