   Well, I can tell you for a fact that the pornography they're producing   
   with AI is so realistic (and the women so flawless), that it is   
   destroying the career paths of our dumbest women.   
      
      
   Look at that image and tell yourself that AI can make that woman do   
   anything you wish for her to do, even the physics will be those of a   
   real person.
