AI doesn't think for itself like after 'reaching the singularity' or whatever. The idea of it "achieving sentience" is science fiction fear stuff. Terminator, Skynet, Matrix shit.
I think a lot of dumbass zoomers think that's what AI is right now. They believe mandela effect and 'roy jay' and demonic possessions and lizard people and flat earth and tons of certifiable fucktarded nonsense.
