I'm not scared of nuclear power

but hearing it in the same sentence as 'Microsoft AI' sent a shiver down my spine

Like in Westworld, the Hoover Dam was allocated to power the AI. This is very dystopian on one level but on another level, the notion that so muchreal engineering is being used to feed a computer that generates incorrect bullshit is kinda comical.
