   One of the most interesting question is actually   
   about the adaptation of AI. While most of us   
   drive or take a bus because we cannot physically   
   move as efficiently as these machines, and more   
   importantly, we don't feel intimidated by these   
   machines (perhaps even enhanced by them, considering   
   the Hummar and sports cars), however...   
      
   there seem to be some unspoken psychological   
   push against machines that help our thinking   
   and mental activities. It is similar to saying,   
   "Hey, I'm not going to drive that Acura NSX   
   because it goes much faster than I can run!"   
      
   While a lot of F500 company CEOs use AI for   
   strategic research and logic deduction in   
   massive conflicting data environment, AI   
   technology seems to be destined to be used   
   by the few whom has some kind of quality   
   that enable them to use these tools.   
      
   Personally I believe AI tools is cheap   
   enough to be run on the average PC now,   
   but... why would a high schooler want   
   to use an AI to figure out the optimal   
   social activities to partake to maximize   
   his social utility? that would take all   
   of the fun out of being a teenager...
