As an 80-year-old with an attitude toward this century that swings from fascinated to horrified, I found this essay to be the most balanced and useful piece I've read about the A.I. genie we've rubbed out of the bottle of our collective desire to become, essentially, immortal. Thank you.

Thanks for your thoughts. My attitude is similar to yours, maybe trending closer to the horror-side of things.
I really like the genie/bottle/collective desire metaphor. It works in a lot of ways!
I annotate for pennies on the side. I like to think I would have caught that...
I bet you would have.
