Tbf everyone is entitled to have an opinion, including Obama

There is a tad bit of difference between caring about an opinion and tolerating one. Obama's opinions on AI are unqualified pop culture nonsense. They wouldn't be relevant in an actual discussion that would cite relevant technical, economical and philosophical aspects of AI as points.

Sure, care about it or don't, I don't care. It was the "being qualified to have an opinion" bit I didn't like. I don't have to qualify to have an opinion and I can write an opinion piece and sure enough, less people will read it than Obama's. I might not be qualified to teach on that subject but everyone is qualified to build one's own opinion.

But maybe that's just overly pedantic on my side. You are qualified to have a different opinion.
