Ladies and gentlemen, let's talk about artificial intelligence! Or as I like to call it, 'that thing that makes your phone less of a brick!'

So, what do people actually think AI is? Some believe it's a robot waiting to take over the world. I mean, I can barely get mine to understand my coffee order!

Lao Zhang

Raise your hand if you think your refrigerator is smarter than you! (pauses for audience interaction) Well, good news! It’s probably true! I mean, it keeps my leftovers alive longer than my last relationship!

Xiao Li

Exactly! And yet, people fear AI like it's the next witch hunt. But let me ask you, what are we really scared of? A calculator that can add faster than us?

d

Lao Zhang

Right? And they say AI is dangerous! The only time I was in danger was when I let my dad use the GPS! He thinks he’s smarter than a map... and smarter than AI!

p

Xiao Li

True! Let's not give our AI too much credit. It can play chess, but can it deal with family gatherings? Didn't think so!

d

Lao Zhang

If machines ever become self-aware, we’re in real trouble! Imagine a robot calling you 'inefficient' while you’re just trying to decide what to watch on Netflix!

p

Xiao Li

Ha! And let's not forget, these machines are designed by humans... flawed humans! That’s like letting a toddler draw blueprints for a skyscraper!

d

Lao Zhang

At the end of the day, we all know AI is just like a pet dog: it might fetch a ball, but it still doesn't understand 'no!'

p

Xiao Li

So, let’s not fear AI. Embrace it, folks! Just remember, if your toaster starts giving you life advice, it’s time to unplug it!
