totally flummox AI but the human brain expects them and thrives on them.

I can see AI doing QC, narrowly defined analysis, and ther boring and literally mind numbing tasks better than we can.

I certainly hope China sees the possibilities for QC, it's something their manufacturing seems to lack...a lot. I expect them to use advanced chips and programming to oppress their urban population even more, though, that's where Xi is headed. They're more afraid of their own people and with very good reason, if you know their history.
