Yes, I'm sorry about that. I really should not write one-line comments without taking time to detail them. I will just stay silent in future in these cases.

Uhm... Why? It's an honest question. I thought that "horrifying" (as in "inducing horror") is a normal descriptor, not racially/sexually loaded or anything. The AI situation certainly induces real dread in me.
I did say "a bit" :) - I guess because it pattern-matches to internet rhetoric for me. By 'internet rhetoric' I mean something where the largeness/sensationalness of the claim is high and the information content is low. (Oh also, the leading "And yes" is a bit of an internet trope)
This is quite minor though; if it distracts from the main point, I'd say forget it.
