We spent years worrying AI would become sentient and overthrow humanity. Turns out the more realistic scenario is humans inventing a religion around autocomplete. 🙈

Ouch, it was difficult reading about Terry. I feel so sorry for him and for how he suffered with severe mental illness.

Thank you for sharing that.
