I can't help but feel that even bad news like this just pushes the AI hype.
No, it isn't "intelligent" and won't be fo centuries to come. It's just a mirror of the internet, so course it sometimes comes up with insane bullshit. Garbage in, garbage out.
It all reminds me of the "virtual reality" hype of the '90s, which really just meant "faster graphics cards".
As someone with 5,000 hours logged into virtual reality as of 2025, your comment leaves me a little confused. 😵💫
You mean "VR Ready" as like, a marketing terminology, right?
Because high-quality, full-body motion tracking virtual reality is available to everyone today for around $3,000-$5,000. It used to cost $140,000 in 1996.
