re: Should AGI be a bigger mainstream topic?

[quote]Given that many "news" sites already use rudimentary AI to write "news" stories, I'd say its a big deal already. What you know and understand about the world is already the product of an algorithm controlled by megacorp USA.

Unless you learned to think for yourself and think critically using reason, logic, and experience.
In that case, you see just how fricked we are due to the majority of people being controlled as you stated above.
