We have a Problem Here Folks. AI imitating humans here in this place.

Would Alan Turing be spinning in his grave I wonder

Edit: I think 'turning' would be better as the verb

I don't mean at this here back water. But about the whole bloody world

Undoubtedly.

Perhaps I'll become a Luddite...

Yep - me too.

I like maps too....too.

Here, it's the covert nature of the AI profile that concerns me, subterfuge by its nature suggests nefarious intent.

Perfectly (or should that be Peggfectly) expressed.  Bang on.

.....not sure that is true in my case.....but then I am notably weird with all-things-medical.

I do take your more general point though....ie I think AI+Lidar and AI+ space mapping = super cool uses of it.  And yeah....I was being argumentative (you know how I like to disagree with you)....medical science uses of AI are obviously great, but their INEVITABLE blurring into "data matters and pre-screening pre-cognition"  make me want to argue!

That's fair enough. Driving can stressful at the best of times. We can only go off our own experiences.

My dad used to get incredibly anxious and bad tempered when he got lost in the car.

I suppose you could look at it another way. The invention of maps meant we had to learn a different skill set to navigating by natural objects. So satnav could be another extension of this - we are learning a skillset of multi-tasking. I don't think humans multi task very well.

I do wonder how anxious people got on in the olden days when driving to new places before satnav came about. There was possibly less, or different anxiety in the world back then so people were able to deal with that uncertainty a bit better. I like getting lost. It builds new connections in your head. The world won't stop if you get lost.
