Breaking Bad’s brilliant Vince Gilligan had the ultimate final word on people pushing AI and it’s just perfect
If you want the perfect final word on Artificial Intelligence then you’d better call Vince Gilligan, creator of Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul and the (now Emmy award winning) sci-fi satire, Pluribus.
The great man was asked about AI at the Emmy awards and he totally nails it in less than a minute. Not for nothing is he such a great storyteller.
