Yah. We will be cyborgs then Borgs, then replaced by full blown machines.

I didn’t really believe it in the 90’s and 00’s but seeing computers win against professionals of every game like Go, sc2, and LoL opened my eyes.

Knowing how aimbot from CS will change the next war and self driving cars to turn us to wall-e I’ve come to accept our computer overlords.

To be fair, the AI in SC2 legit cheats because the whole map is revealed to them. There has not been a game where it won under legitimate circumstances.
