5 digit deductibles are common, as well.

that's not fair to parrots because some parrots do actually understand parts of speech

Going to use a reference to the Matrix on this one. When he downloaded the knowledge to operate helicopter I believe.
How do you think AI will evolve to solve these problems?

>I heard that with things such as brain/computer interfaces, neural implants, and mind uploading we can delete memories,
You heard wrong. It's science fiction.
We have no real idea how memories are stored, beyond a fairly basic level. We know that the hippocampus is involved in storing memories and if you destroy it, you can't create new memories, but memories aren't stored in a folder somewhere in your brain. You can't just go in an delete a memory. They're stored throughout your brain (edit: Specifically the neocortex, but this is a pretty extensive area of the brain). That's why you can remember smells and sounds and sights and the way things feel, because they're stored in all those parts of the brain where those sensations are experienced. And they're interweaved with each other. You couldn't destroy one without destroying others.
This is not something that we're anywhere close to being competent to messing with.

Agreed, insofar as AI exist only as tools, then don’t deserve anymore “robot rights” than my garbage can. We can have that discussion when/ if we reach the singularity and/ or AGI.

I'll be quite stoked if I live long enough to see a mining colony on the moon

Having access to knowledge is not the same thing as being educated.
Education not only causes knowledge to be retained; it also causes it to be integrated together, so that we can view the world in a cross-disciplinary way, and informs our behavior in ways both profound and mundane.
For example, when you see someone tailgating in traffic, you know they slept through their math and physics classes. No amount of information on tap will change their stupid behavior the way education could.
Even with all the information made available to the public about the coronavirus, people still act in stupendous ignorance of the consequences of their bad behavior, and spread the disease in entirely avoidable ways.
My hope is that LLMs like ChatGPT can be integrated into virtual tutors, so that students can get better individualized attention and receive the education we all need them to have.

Maybe it contributed because of pollutants illegaly disposed of but I think there a lot of other things that have to do with the "fucked up" earth

We already have Google and people are dumber than ever. It's like if AI took over driving and people forgot how to drive.

What problem? You haven't named a problem.
And the only AI in the matrix was the machine city. The humans didn't use AI at all on their computers.
