Bruce Cotterill: AI must simplify, not complicate, our way of life

I watched a video the other day. It was sent to me by a friend. It was quickly obvious that the video was created by artificial intelligence, or AI as the moniker now reads. My friend thought it was real. It looked real. And my subsequent research revealed that the story it told was real.

The video featured a textile factory, with people going about their day jobs of manufacturing, colouring and even sewing fabric. The product output was apparel, canvas bags and shelter cloths.
