The generative AI's that "creates" content. Just dumb black boxes remixing what you give them, overconfident and inaccurate, yet seen as the ultimate tools by people.

They do create content, though, regardless of it you personally think they're smart in the process of doing so. Like, there's actual papers that are devoted to making sure.

Quantum computers a real candidate once they get off the ground. They might help solve a few problems in chemistry and condensed matter physics, but on the other hand they definitely will make a lot of encryption we heavily rely on obsolete, and the replacements are noticeably inferior. And that's about it, because quantum algorithms are hard to design. So, that seems like a net negative to me.

Deep neural nets are powerful, but the fact we fundamentally don't understand how they work is a bit nerve-wracking.

SPAM. Not the food variety, but the other. Inventend by a lawyer.

OK, you got me there. For me, EMail-SPAM is still a new thing, because I still remember the time before.
