Artificial flavoring. Artificial sweeteners. Artificial plants. Artificial intelligence (AI).
Technology has taken artificial to the forefront, making it so even a square peg can fit into a round hole, bridging the gap in all situations. Don't know what song to listen to? The algorithm will figure it out. Don't know how to find your destination? The self-driving car can handle that. Don't understand what you just read? AI can summarize it.
Society soaks up everything artificial because it's more convenient or tastes better. Laziness or convenience? You be the judge.
No matter how popular those fake things become, nothing can ever replace the original. As we embark on the early days of NFL training camp, it's important to have some fun, even if the robots continue to conquer more and more in some sort of ode to imperialism.
Will Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs rebound after a Super Bowl beatdown? Which NFL team will surprise? Who will be the league's best and who will be the worst?
