Coming soon after the Neuralink implant.

How about... AI replaces government officials! A lot cheaper. Might actually get things right. And how could it fuck up any worse than what we have?

AI can't replace programmers right now, but I've said all through my software dev career that our ultimate goal is to eliminate our jobs. Software will eventually be able to understand human language and think of all the right questions to ask to turn "Customer wants a button that does something" into an actual spec that generates fully usable code. It's just a matter of time. Mocking AI based on what it currently can't do is like mocking airplanes because of what they couldn't do in the 1920s.

Or like mocking Moon colonization in 1970
