Billk and Ben, when we ask AI about its attitudes and plans, I can’t get past the uncomfortable feeling that we are reading ourselves.  We may be talking to an AI trained on material we wrote and posted in this forum a quarter century ago.  I don’t always agree with that me.  I scarcely agree with the now me, never mind the back then me.
