I'll just give you the simple answer that there are some folks in this fucked up Western culture who attempt to stay as clear of Hollywood as guiding principle as possible, Instead I read Gary Marcus and other sources on AI. It's a far more reliable and nuanced way to get information. And the fact that someone would be shocked -- shocked, I tell you -- to learn I had not ever watched "The Matrix" series is a true commentary on where the fucking culture gleans its information. And as a biomedical scientist, I assure you that I'm painfully familiar with how that process in my area of expertise works, say pharmacology, where the public's understanding of the potent bio-active chemicals it puts into its bodies is laughable, derived largely from Pharma ad propaganda, which is to say Hollywood-level productions.
