Without AI, our country as we know it collapses.
The idiot is one who doesn't realize that.
Probably the same guy who thinks we could just end all welfare tomorrow and remain viable as the wannabe first-world country that we are.
So we're doomed without a computer program...

Pretty much. Look at what the crash of a single system did to an airline.
Now imagine all the AI for all air travel suddenly being gone.
Now apply it to freight logistics. Apply it to seagoing vessels.
Apply it to traffic lights in cities.
Apply it to skyscrapers that house 30,000 people with fully automated controls of things like power, ventilation.
Apply it to the banking for those 30,000 people.
Apply it to the banking for 330 million people.
Apply it to all the fighter jets that could never be flown by wire.

Yeah, we'd be doomed alright.

But I presume you have a solution, just like you have one for eliminating welfare overnight...
 
I tend to agree. People don't want to do anything for themselves, including think. IQ's have slowly been dropping since the inception of the intrawebz.
If we're basing the future of the country on AI...it's already lost...the most "logical" decisions aren't always the right ones...

The "future"? We couldn't last a day in the PRESENT. Humans just couldn't efficiently or quickly enough do the work that computers do for us day in and day out, or you would need so many humans doing th work, it wouldn't be cost effective.

Air travel is a good example, and one I've already used. Here is a visual example of all the global flight sin a 24 hour period. Try making that happen without computers. It's literally impossible.

Now you're conflating computers with AI...

Hmmm, what exaclty does the AI run on? COMPUTERS.
And here is what AI is:
Artificial intelligence (AI) is intelligence demonstrated by machines, as opposed to intelligence of humans and other animals. Example tasks in which this is done include speech recognition, computer vision, translation between (natural) languages, as well as other mappings of inputs.

AI applications include advanced web search engines (e.g., Google Search), recommendation systems (used by YouTube, Amazon, and Netflix), understanding human speech (such as Siri and Alexa), self-driving cars (e.g., Waymo), generative or creative tools (ChatGPT and AI art), automated decision-making, and competing at the highest level in strategic game systems (such as chess and Go).[1]

As machines become increasingly capable, tasks considered to require "intelligence" are often removed from the definition of AI, a phenomenon known as the AI effect. For instance, optical character recognition is frequently excluded from things considered to be AI, having become a routine technology."

Yeah, when they plug in a shit-ton of data and the computer spits out a result based on processing all that data, it's AI at work.
"SIRI, where is the closest gas station?" AI at work.
Plane flying into a mountain. "Pull up. Pull up. Pull up." AI at work.
Traffic lights that adjust their timing based on traffic patterns. AI at work.
A thermostat that changes it's heat/cool cycle based on activity in the house. AI at work.
Predictive typing on your phone. AI at work.


AI that is running on...COMPUTERS.
No conflating at all.
