Boy, we missed Stewart’s smart humor.
The Late Night host isn’t buying into the promises of AI, such as it will be used to tackle major problems such as ending climate change and curing diseases.
Then Stewart rolled footage of Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg using the technology to… make toast.
“Are you out of your fucking mind?” Stewart asked on “The Daily Show” on Monday night. “See, here’s the thing. Toast, I can make. I can make toast. It might be the only technology we have that works pretty much every time. I’ll tell you what: Why don’t you get to work on curing the diseases and the climate change, and we’ll hold down the fort on toast.”
