    I don’t think Ridley Scott knows how AI works.

        I used to think he completely lost it when he had the characters acting so dumb in his recent Alien universe films, for example when the crew of prometheus took off their helmets, but then watching how large parts of society acted with covid I am now not sure.

      I agree, yet for some reason celebrities who are not qualified to comment on these things have their voices amplified by the media.
