This reads like an April 1st spoof, albeit the dateline is one day late. With the tsunami of articles about using AI in HE as a tool to stimulate and inspire individual thought etc etc, I delight in the caveat that it mustn't replace the human. I believe its really too late for feeble caveats as Pandoras box cannot be shut and the stable door has fallen right off. The AI ponies are merrily cantering around the HE meadows ridden by the incubi, imps and various malign fairies that were held on the box of Pandora. Now just wait for the AGI encore!
