This is now a huge deal. I was born in 1975, and as such, have seen two genuine computer revolutions. The first was the micro-computer. The second was the world wide web. There has been constant evolution and we all benefit from it. Social media may have been a cultural revolution, but technically, it was pre-existing shit serving a new concept. AI is a balls-out genuine revolution. A lot of people in my game are going to have to adapt or perish, and I think that’s true of a lot of other sectors too.
