I think that was a similar conclusion many drew and even I admitted that anything else is speculation. But what about the /futtuuuuuuurrrreeeeeee/

*queues the twilight zone music*

I assume any decent editor can copy and paste stories with similar stories, change the characters and scenery enough to call it theirs. The first story generators might only do something like that. There are many different ways such information could be utilized according to pragmatism and or profitability, both a constantly moving target. Maybe because my age has a 3 in front of it now, I think about the use of technology in surveillance and despite what others have said, there are trucks that are self driving to some extent that have been in operation for a couple years. Companies like Walmart have placed orders for the Tesla semi trucks.... and yeah, this technology (automation through algorithms, AI whatever) is going everywhere, eventually. It's the timeframe that is iffy.

I am all for the roundabouts though. Wouldn't want to drive through one but I have never had my driving license so it is all just theoretical. They are fun as a passenger? lol

Feel like I have said the same thing in different ways a few times but it isn't important. I just enjoy reading what others have to say about this topic and the segues only enhance the conversation in new an inventive ways! Just proud to have broken out of the lounge

Analytics is not new, and it has little to do with AI. Many news sites use it in some form, and have done so for over a decade.
