I have never seen that Brenda meme before, great one :) Of course I had to feed it to ChatGPT to fix it and freely fill in new information if needed. I find it remarkable that it kept the "horses" joke:
In Loving Memory of Brenda Tent
Brenda Tent, a beloved wife, mother, and friend, passed away peacefully at the age of 46, surrounded by her cherished family and comforted by their love. Born on June 12, 1978, Brenda brought light and laughter to everyone who knew her.
A dedicated librarian, Brenda's passion for books and learning was matched only by her curiosity about the world. She was known for her warm spirit, quick wit, and the gentle kindness she extended to all. Brenda had a knack for creating connections—whether helping students find the perfect book or lending a listening ear to those in need.
Brenda met her soulmate, Michael Tent, in high school, and they built a beautiful life together. She found her greatest joy in raising their two sons, Ethan and Lucas, guiding them with love, strength, and wisdom. She had a playful sense of humor and loved crafting, gardening, and trying her hand at new hobbies—her creativity knew no bounds.
Though Brenda joked that she “owned no horses but thought she did,” she cherished every adventure, big or small. A devoted member of her church, Brenda sang with a voice as pure and uplifting as her spirit, a true gift to the congregation. She also had a hidden talent for poetry, leaving behind words that will continue to inspire.
A celebration of Brenda’s life will take place on December 10, 2024, at Grace Community Church. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly asks for donations to the local library fund, a cause close to Brenda’s heart, or simply take a moment to share a story, a smile, or an act of kindness in her memory.
Brenda will be deeply missed but forever remembered for the love she gave and the light she shared.
The founder of machine learning who just won the Nobel prize predicted in 20 years time AI will be more intelligent than humans are. He explained that in 20 years they will be more rational and analytical. You can see it already: humans are becoming more like bots and AI are becoming more like humans; the machines are softening us up. He said AI companies need to invest far more in security NOW so in 20 years time they won't want to control us. But we need to start now. How can we trust AI if we don't trust the companies that are developing it? The CEOs of the digital dictators are like James Bond baddies...what can be done? Bring back the Baader Meinhof?
"I have a foreboding of an America in my children's or grandchildren's time -- when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what's true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness ... The dumbing down of American is most evident in the slow decay of substantive content in the enormously influential media, the 30 second sound bites (now down to 10 seconds or less), lowest common denominator programming, credulous presentations on pseudoscience and superstition, but especially a kind of celebration of ignorance” -- Carl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark , Feb 1996

Well, I wouldn't say that humans are becoming more like bots. I think humans are becoming more irrational, while AI is becoming more like humans.
As the saying goes: In the 1990s, scientists had to explain how they cloned a sheep, in 2024, they have to explain that the Earth is round.
