Although there may be some beneficial uses for AI, the dark side of humanity will misuse it in extremely destructive ways. Already, AI and has been elevated above the control of nation-states and human government, and its creators are intentionally recreating the future without public input.

There is natural affinity to give names to inanimate objects and then to relate to them on an emotional basis.

No two cars had the same name.
