Robohub

A routine check-up at the dentist ends with bad news: tooth decay has left a large cavity, and the tooth needs a crown. The treatment requires several follow-up appointments. During the first appointment, the dentist removes the decay, fills the cavity and prepares the tooth for the crown. She then takes an impression and fits a temporary crown. The permanent crown is produced based on the impression and can only be placed at a later appointment.

WIRED

"I think it should stand for," one 9-year-old says. Here's why kids of all ages are calling AI "disgusting" and "creepy." Forget cheating on homework and chatbot friends.
