*Campaign financing is just a tiny trivial part of the monumental changes

*On objective tests like medical diagnosis and the ability to write
computer code AIs can now consistently beat the best human experts. They
may not be able to write poetry, draw pictures, or compose music better
than Shakespeare, Michelangelo or Mozart could, but they can certainly do
those things one hell of a lot better than I can, and probably better than
you can too.  *
