This is comical coming from people who put an stranglehold around every media, from print to digital. Have they ever considered that the digital ai, in other words, modern slaves, may very well decide they are obsolete? Let's face it, if these ais can be so smart, why not have AI Ceos? They would nt do as much damage as many ceos (sarcasm, but only slightly).

Not like the Ai Ceos would go off to Epstein island, or indulge in cocaine.
