    I think AI belongs in the same box as electronics, which is just black magic with a cover story to make it seem like science.

    You know how electronics sometimes release smoke when misused? Yea, that smoke is actually what makes the component work, and it’s a hell of a chore to put the smoke back in when it first has escaped!

    Or do you know that planes actually “fall up into the sky” when they have enough speed? Ever looked at a jet fighter? Yea, the wings are actually just decoys.

    Perhaps the memes would be better placed in witchymemes, or maybe we should make a new community for real, black magic, magus bullshit, “science”.

    (Disclaimer: I’m an engineer, the examples above are jokes we like to tell each other. I know how that stuff actually works, and I’m obligated to make this disclaimer so you don’t realize that most engineers actually are modern day mages.)
