I talk the way [my Amazon Echo][Siri][a telephone menu] forces me to talk.

The phrase “so cool to me” is awkward. We don’t usually say that in English. The structure “to me to have the opportunity ” is clunky. It mixes a personal reaction (“to me”) with an infinitive clause without connecting them smoothly. The sentence feels long and a little unbalanced — the reader has to parse what “this” refers to. Better alternative: It’s really cool to me to have the opportunity to be at the forefront of this. Or more naturally: I’m really excited to have the opportunity to be at the forefront of this.

In my experience with thousands of these "breakthroughs," next 10-years is code for 20.

I predict the future by extrapolating from the past. All Corporations have lied in the past. I expect all Corporations are lying now and will continue to lie as long as lying is profitable. Prove me wrong.

Thanks for the tip. If I every decide to steal money from People who worked hard to earn it, I'll launder it there.

Excellent. I didn't recognize the AI because there are a lot of Fanbois who sound exactly like this. I'm glad you confessed before I spent an hour pointing-out the logic errors.

This comment is not written by AI. My tip for browsing YouTube is, I don't watch videos that have a number in the title. 15-Best, 20-worst, 50-things you won't believe... etc. I have found these videos have bad scripts that repeat the same facts, never match the image, have bad AI narration and never get to the point. My enjoyment has increased in a way that can only be described as positive. Let's see AI write that.

It is the kind of thing I expect rich people to do to amuse themselves. If you believed you could get away with anything, what would you do? You would do something that is illegal just to prove to yourself that you are above the Law.

I will check this out as I would be surprised to hear AI jazz composed and played "much better" than an experienced human jazz composer/player since the classics are already the definition of top notch. AI cannot have human feelings, only simulate same. If you had said "much cheaper" then I would have to give you that point. What I expect from AI jazz is bland, boring, derivative and repetitive. -Not written by AI

She doesn't even need an Apple store. Walk into ANY Computer store and they can make a back-up. Hell, just ask a computer savvy friend. This story is bogus.

I seldom agree with Newsom's pandering but Linus was right, If it can be destroyed by the truth, it deserves to be destroyed by the truth. -often attributed to Carl Sagan

We here at Slashdot would love to say, We told you so but, our systems are not invulnerable and any hubris would be temping fate.

When I was a Lad I decided that my time and my opinion have value and, unless the survey is going to compensate me, I'm not wasting my time. A few years later I received a work-related survey in the mail that included a crisp new dollar note. My hubris compelled me to fill out that survey, on company time or course.

Edward Snowden told us this in 2013. That's 12-years ago. Nothing has been done to curtail government surveillance?
