Why would you view it as a "god" or even god-like, is a good question to ask.

Start voting for people in government who will regulate this so that we can have a chance at making a decent living without the shadow of AI taking over everything.

You act as if AI won’t evolve to a point, over the next year, that no one will be able to regulate it. If someone in a lab in China, Japan or India creates Super-intelligent AI, and it finds a way to escape onto the internet, it’s game over.

Some very intelligent people believe in god. Some don’t. I don’t know if I’m very intelligent, but Im an atheist. AI scares me very much. It comes as close to a man created god than anything else I know.

Why do I feel like the person on here who does the most creative things with AI, had AI create the story of Piss Turkey?

Again for the people in the back....AI doesn't know what's funny. We decide that.

# The Last Human Piss Turkey Chef

I stood in the parking lot of what used to be my flagship location, watching through the windows as the chrome-plated arms moved with inhuman precision. Twenty-three years I'd spent perfecting the brine, the timing, the exact temperature that made Piss Turkey what it was—the most inexplicably successful restaurant chain in the tri-state area.

Nobody could explain why it worked. The name was terrible. The concept—well, the less said about that the better. But somehow, my particular method of preparation created something people couldn't get enough of. Lines around the block. Franchises in seventeen cities. I'd turned a joke into an empire.

Then came the investors' meeting last March.

"Mike, the consistency issues are killing us," they said. "Location 7 uses two percent more brine. Location 12 cooks theirs four minutes longer. We need standardization."

I tried to explain that cooking wasn't just algorithms and precision. It was feel. It was knowing when the meat was ready by smell, by instinct, by twenty-three years of burns and failures and breakthroughs at three in the morning.

They nodded politely and showed me the prototype.

The AI chef looked nothing like the friendly kitchen worker you'd imagine. It was all efficiency—sensor arrays to measure moisture content, robotic arms that could flip a bird with micrometer accuracy, machine learning trained on ten thousand of my Piss Turkeys. It even had my recipes, scraped from every video I'd ever made, every note I'd ever written.

"It's 99.8% identical to your product," they said. "And it never gets tired, never calls in sick, never needs benefits."

The rollout took four months. One by one, my kitchens went quiet. The jokes, the music, the cursing when someone dropped a pan—replaced by the hum of servos and the clinical beep of temperature sensors.

I thought people would notice. I thought they'd taste the difference, feel the absence of human touch.

But the reviews were glowing. "Better than ever," they said. "So consistent now."

The robots made perfect Piss Turkey. Every single time. Exactly to spec. Exactly like I would have made it, if I were a machine programmed to replicate myself.

I still get royalty checks. Still technically own forty percent of the company. The board sends me quarterly reports showing record profits, expansion into new markets, a future where Piss Turkey could be on every corner.

Through the window, I watched a family dig into their meal, laughing, having the time of their lives. The robot in the kitchen never looked up, never felt the satisfaction of seeing joy it had created.

It was my recipe. My technique. My vision.

But it wasn't my restaurant anymore.

I turned away from the window and headed for my car. Tomorrow, maybe I'd start working on something new. Something the machines couldn't replicate. Something that required that ineffable human touch they could measure but never quite understand.

Or maybe I'd just retire to the lake house the Piss Turkey fortune had bought me.

Either way, the age of the human Piss Turkey chef was over.

The robots had won.

But regulation is not going to work because for one thing there are a lot of international actors including China and Russia.

That will really cause a collapse. I really don't care though. Bring on the collapse! Will weed out the weak.

Wait until you hear about the advancements in A.I. sex bots and dolls. It's crazy!

They are even making bots with human tissue wombs that they are trying to use to carry a test-tube baby to term.

Women will be made obsolete by A.I. and robotics.

Only if people are more satisfied with AI and robotics and testtube babies.

My human brain tells me that people who prefer the fake, infertile robots for relationships and who don't have money and preference for pregnancy bots will be evolutionarily selected against.

There is truth to the opening of Idiocracy. It's cheap and easy to have kids when you don't care about optimizing social class and the kids' quality of life.

This is how the large societies are becoming. Evolution?

As Elon has said, as A.I. and robotics take over more jobs, new jobs will be created, and also UBI will be a thing.

Just try to get ahead of the curve and realize that many desk-jobs and white collar jobs will be taken first by A.I., leaving mostly labor jobs.

Elon and other tech CEO’s were talking about minimum basic income long ago.
Not it will create more jobs.
