Ex-Professor’s AI Control Freakiness Woos Media, But Real Experts Yawn

Former Professor with Annoying AI Demands Becomes ChatGPT’s Center of Attention

In a stunning display of mediocrity, this ex-professor’s incessant demand for stricter AI regulation has turned him into a favorite little pet of the ChatGPT era media circus. Guess it doesn’t take much to become a star these days. The former academic apparently has plenty of time on his hands to preach about taming artificial intelligence, while some actual top researchers don’t even waste a yawn in response. Like really, there are actual experts in the field no one is paying attention to.

Possible Implications of Yet Another A.I. Nanny

As the media parades this control-obsessed ex-professor around like a show dog, it’s pretty lame that there are people who are actually entertaining the idea of more AI restrictions. Sure, having safeguards and regulations is important, but let’s not get carried away like an overbearing soccer mom. Everyone and their dog has an opinion on AI these days, but it’s laughable how overzealous some ex-professors can get when it comes to attention-seeking antics.

Hot Take: AI Doesn’t Need More Babysitting, Just Better Humans

Here’s a suggestion: instead of demanding AI control like a Neanderthal with a caveman club, how about we focus on educating humans about AI safely and responsibly? There’s a thought! The ex-prof possibly just wants to leave a mark on history, but maybe it’s time they found a new hobby instead of chasing media stardom. Real, hardworking AI researchers are doing just fine at pushing the boundaries of technology while keeping humanity safe, thank you very much. So perhaps our dear ex-prof should just stick to their lectures and leave the AI worrywarts at home.
