It is fair to say that we ’ ve all heard about artificial intelligence ( AI ) and how it will change our lives in unimaginable ways . To take a gander , I downloaded an AI app called “ Ai Chat ” on my cell phone and gave it a try . Oh boy .

Here is what I dictated to it : “ Write a bio about Kim Bowen from the blitz .”

Before showing how “ Ai Chat ” responded , let me give you a short bio on the real Kim Bowen .

She grew up in London , was inter-

ested in the arts and attended St . Martin ’ s , the Harvard of fashion and design . She and the other students had no money but had plenty of style and displayed it at a nightclub called The Blitz , like the famous New York City nightclub , Studio 54 , where you can gain admission only if you are a celebrity , rich or look fabulous . Kim and her friends look fabulous . They even formed a loose club called The Blitz Kids , which still exists ( look up Blitz Kids on the web , and you will get hundreds of photos of the “ members ,” some of whom now are quite famous ).

After school , Kim moved to Sydney , Australia , where she married ( literally ) the drummer in a band and , at age 23 , became the fashion editor of Harper ’ s Bazaar Australia---heady stuff . From there , she divorced , moved back to London , then settled in LA , where she became a Hollywood “ stylist ,” also known as a costume designer .

She creates outfits for rock stars and actors in TV commercials , movies and the like . For example , she probably helped create 100 music videos starring people like George

Michael .

She still does this today , has two high-school-aged kids , and lives in Laguna Beach .

Kim never appeared in a movie or a theatrical production of any kind , and although she has three dogs , she is not an animal rights activist .

Given all that , here is what “ Ai Chat ” wrote when I asked it to “ Write a bio about Kim Bowen from the Blitz .”

“ Kim Bowen is a well-known American actress who gained popularity for her role in the 2001 historical drama film , ‘ The Blitz .’ Kim was born and raised in Los Angeles , California . She began her acting career in the late 90s and quickly made a name for herself in the entertainment industry .”

“ In ‘ The Blitz ,’ Kim played the role of Mary , a young woman caught up in the chaos of the London Blitz during World War II . Her portrayal of a woman struggling to survive amidst the destruction and devastation earned her critical acclaim and a loyal fan base .

“ Kim ’ s acting career spans decades , and she has appeared in

numerous films , television shows , and theatrical productions . She is known for her versatile acting skills and her ability to bring complex characters to life on the screen .

“ Apart from acting , Kim is also a passionate animal rights activist and is involved in various organizations that promote animal welfare . She is well-respect in the community for her activism and dedication to the cause .

“ With a successful career in the entertainment industry and a heart full of compassion , Kim Bowen continues to inspire and entertain audiences around the world .”

After that is where Kim ’ s bio as created by “ Ai Chat ,” ends .

That “ Ai Chat ” could respond as it did---well , it blew my mind .

Here it was . The future . An AI app lying with the ease of someone that has no conscience .

Wait , wait . It is a machine .

Machines have no conscience . Do they ? Michael is a Laguna Beach resident and principal officer emeritus of Laguna Forward PAC .
