Has Artificial Intelligence made People any Better?

The Answer is clearly "No!" And we should be paying more attention to this discrepancy.

This problem has been with us for a very long time, and is part of Human Nature. That began when we invented Language - and a rich collection of Emotions to go with it. The Emotions are usually in control, because they operate quickly, with little effort. Thinking is slower, and takes more of an effort.

Artificial Intelligence has given computers the equivalent of Emotions.  They can do amazing things (such as translate languages) but we have no idea how they do this.

We should be making AI more humane, but there is little interest in this. We have used it to make money and become more powerful, instead. To make better weapons.
