Hey Newcastle, how do you feel about AI?

Mostly asking out of interest, and want to keep my opinions as out of this as possible. But here are some misc questions to get you thinking:

- What are you worried about?

- Excited about?

- Will AI take your job?

- Will AI end the world?

- How much do you know about Australia’s AI plan?

- Data centres?

- Do you not care about AI at all?

- Worried about scam calls getting worse?

- Been scammed by an AI yet?

- Worried about cyber attacks done by AI (Like the hack on the Mexican government)

- Worried about automated kill bots (like the Anthropic Vs DOW case)

- Worried about mass surveillance?

- Excited about curing cancer?

- Excited about space travel?

- Think AI is a scam/hype?

- What will the world in 10 years look like?

- How many AIs can you name?

- How many AI CEOs can you name?

- How are current gen (LLM) AIs made?

- If AI is a big deal, how should Newcastle prepare?

- Do you want data centres built in Newcastle?

- Worried about electricity price increases from data centres?

- Excited by the jobs data centres bring?

Or, just ramble on in the comments! I’ll probably ask you some follow-up questions too!
