Is AI getting out of hand?

Is AI getting out of hand? 

I feel like it is; I'm getting to the point where it will end up being normal. To tell you the truth, I don't want that. 

I'm interested in hearing your thoughts on AI

  • As it is, I'm finding it useful for weighing up decisions, for example about buying second-hand electric cars. It is certainly useful for multi searches, coming up with answers far quicker and broader than I could research. But I do find it worrying how very quickly I'm getting used to this simple Google service. There are always bad people about and always will be, that is the risk - yet so much good is already coming from this innovation.

    My DiL works in car park management and the industry is becoming increasingly concerned about electric cars spontaneously catching fire, she says they probably have 3 incidents a week nationwide. Electric battery fires are very hard to put out, flare up very quickly and very hot endangering other cars parked nearby, she saw a woman and 2 small children narrowly escape thier car before t caught on fire due to the electric car burning next to it. She said it's not unusual for there to be at least one and sometimes more cars burnt out or written off by an electric car fire.

    I know ths has little to do with AI but I'd hate for something to happen to you.

    Also having been in a tesla, could you cope with the amount of tech in an electric car? A tesla has an A4 sized screen that you can't turn off as everything is controlled via it. I don't know what other cars have in terms of screen size, but I would have to learn to drive all over again to cope with an electric car, knowing me I'd probably crash it before I ever got it off the drive.

    I got "charged" at by a robotic hoover in the superarket the other day, it saw me and speeded up instead of slowing down and avoiding me!

    That's pretty scary and these incidents ought to be in the News. I've read a lot about electric scooter batteries catching fire in homes. My garage said these battery fires are hard to put out. Indeed, this part of the technology is off putting. Trouble is, I won't be able to afford another car once I buy one and hope it will last me out, and if the Government insist on selling only electric cars I will be stuck.
