When I was watching my morning tv show and enjoying my coffee, they asked this question regarding technology. These were the choices they gave: Self-driving cars Smart homes Self-checkout Smartphones Smart speakers Everything AI Of those choices the top 3 were Everything AI, Self-Driving cars and Self-checkouts. I would agree that those would be my choices too. When it comes to technology, what would you like to see disappear?

Considering the dangerous and scary things it can do in just the beginning, I’d get rid of everything AI. It is alarming what is being done by evil people. I do realize it can help, but is it helping more than hurting? My second would be self driving cars and smart speakers. With self-checkout right after.

I agree that AI is really dangerous especially in this crazy world. Sad that evil people have to use it to their advantage Self driving cars scare me to as so much can go wrong.

The first and last options would be my choice and as for a third I'd say a smart house

I've never been a fan of self-driving cars. Too much can go wrong

Exactly. I wouldn't trust a smart house either, what if there's a fire and the stupid thing got confused and wouldn't let me out

I'd want everything AI to go away permanently. I still believe that kind of thing is dangerous for mankind. AI will be the end for us.

@Marilynda1225 You KNOW something is wrong when the designers, researchers and techs all said AI shouldn't be developed and some of them even called for a moratorium on AI development and further research. We already have widespread misinformation from AI, widespread privacy invasions and major security risks from developing AI.

I think AI should be outlawed worldwide. But unfortunately, it's pretty much too late for that.

@Marilynda1225 I am seeing signs of it everywhere. People are going to forget how to think, or even write a sentence or draw a stick figure. Just let AI do it...while the brains just rot away.

I feel uncomfortable with Everything AI. While AI is helpful in many ways, it is also risky and dangerous in the hands of evil people.

It's really sad that we have to be at the mercy of evil people. I do agree that AI can be helpful but also risky.

Not big on self checkouts but they can come in handy.

The self-driving cars would be my choice. They are dangerous. I've read about several accidents already. Very scary. Then I would probably go with AI. Some of it seems okay, but they go too far.

I have to agree with you on the Everything AI and Self-Driving cars, I sometimes use the self checkouts, but I do dislike the fact that our smart devices listen to us.

Reading your title AI was my automatic choice. No thinking needed on that. I agree with self checkouts too. I feel self driving cars for now but in the future with a lot of improvements they might be good.

All I can say they can all go away as long as I have my PC and the internet.

Definitely self-driving cars. I think they are the biggest mistake ever made.

I would like to see compact discs disappear since they are expensive to buy in a record store.
