You don’t have to wander too far from the water cooler to feel the buzz. There’s something in the air. Something everyone is talking about. Probably complaining, too. I am, of course, referring to how artificial intelligence, and in particular DAN, (which stands for Do Anything Now prompting), has invaded our lives. And it’s only just the beginning. But, have you ever wondered what the “next phase” will be like absorbing DAN into our human world? Imagine the day, when job candidate DAN interviews for the same job as his human counterpart.
