A utility? Not something to be fostered? So forget schools, critical thinking? As for being on tap, since their data centres will be squandering ever-precious water resources, I hope they find a way to make intelligence on tap quench thirst and water crops.

The whole "AI" industry is just based on the hope that they can deskill people fast enough that they'll have to rent back cognitive support systems. Forever.
It's like Uber. Just that they don't try to break existing transportation infrastructures but your brain.
