Now wondering how the media will be getting wilder with its claims to further scare the average person.

I’m running through headlines in my mind. AI impregnates females via lab incursion. I’m not sure where the outrage would lie, the AI, the kids created, the lab, with not an ounce of critical thinking applied to the against frenzy of crazy bate stories occurring.

I wonder who will be producing the articles, humans or AI. These shenanigans are becoming somewhat entertaining to observe. Whilst it spikes my imagination the amount of people that eat this kinda is bewildering.
