That sentence pretty much says it all. In order for it to appear on those employees radar they would have to read about AI and be able to come to a conclusion based on what they read. Of course these articles would be scattered all over the internet and a person would have to search for them which runs contrary to human nature. People read and look at things they find interesting and AI isn't at the top of most peoples list. I doubt if even 1% of the population could be bothered to read enough articles about AI to come to any conclusions other then agreeing or disagreeing with what is written in the articles they read.

3. A notorious serial killer which I looked up and wasn't that notorious.
4. An article about must read books

That must be a Fact, Jack! What I know about AI at this point is that articles written by AI are not reliable.

Good idea! ............
