      I think there's a huge market opportunity for signing content and 
verifying its provenance, in ways which are usable and well-known. We 
haven't been able to trust mediated experiences for a very long time; 
now that more is digital, we can use tools to identify those who will 
vouch for it.

      Also, the current stuff being passed off as "AI" is far from it. 
There's no comprehension or understanding, only glorified brute-force 
auto-completion, and social engineering via human-written code 
(backpedaling caveats, mostly). I enjoyed Ezra Klein's recent interview 
with Gary Marcus about it:
