@arstechnica The scariest thing about AI for me is how it wants... needs to track, learn, record, BE your digital self... making moves on your behalf with or without you knowing...

and you can't even hold it accountable because it's not a real person. It's just really over reaching software.

I don't like the idea of it at all.
