Don't get me wrong, I would like an omnipotent, benevolent AGI from Asimov's stories to rule the planet.
But until we get there I would appreciate it if companies would stop showing crappy LLM's and ML into every system imaginable.

Doesn't that always go wrong somewhere in his stories? XD

There are few stories where 3 AI run the whole planet and the worst that happens is that few people who are against are moved to less amazing positions to be less able to complain.

People that discovered that kind of shrug and don't tell anyone because they decide it makes sense for the benefits of humanity.

I think in the end decades later AI's slowly disable themselves after deciding that their existence is slowing humanity down or something.

I don't remember the title so I guess I have to binge all of his books again as soon as I'm done with Horus Heresy.

Been a while since I've read those specific stories so I guess I've forgotten how those ones turned out.
