In 2000 Avery Brooks did some television commercials for IBM:
It's 2026. Still no flying cars. We have more surveillance than the Obsidian Order and TalShiar combined. But we did create a lot of value for shareholders and the DJIA was at 50,000 for a little bit
/S
The government has flying cars locked next to your alien friend in area 51.
This legit hits hard, even today.
We are waaaay the fuck in the future, scifi-wise. It's about to be 20-fucking-26. I was promised so many awesome things.
"Best I can do is AI that writes music and paints and writes novels for you, you know, all the stuff humans consider fun"
Fuck it, just have AI play our video games and watch our movies for us so we have more time to do dishes and laundry. IT'S THE FUTURE. I SHOULDN'T BE DOING DISHES OR LAUNDRY. What are we even doing here?
Where the fuck's my jetpack?
I just realized that this may be better than Frakes asking you questions. That is an epiphany.
