As DeepSeek Tanks Wall Street, Here’s How AI Views Oklahoma
Here's a question. Do you think Oklahoma trusts AI? I think if you polled Okies, it'd probably be a hodge-podge of answers, but ultimately a majority "no."
Whether it's Gen-X and Millennials Terminator memories or the unwavering resistance to learning how to use anything new at a certain point in life, I think most would initially fight the encroachment of artificial intelligence until they realized how much they already use it.

I went through this with my own Baby Boomer father over the last week or so. Normally, when it comes to anything not specified as something he's either used to or personally wants to do, he's an automatic "no."
Want to do fun skill-building stuff with your grandkids? No - "Too busy doing nothing."
Want to take the vacation of a lifetime with your wife? No - Mom went alone.
Want to learn how I so easily found an answer online? No - "I'll just call you."
It's like a plague with so many similar, and an increasing amount of younger people across Oklahoma, but I suspect it's more of an unwillingness to learn rather than an inability.
After five years of driving his PawPaw truck, he finally became curious about Android Auto while I showed him that incredible Denali from Southwest GMC over Thanksgiving. By Christmas, he was so interested, he asked me to help him hook his up.
Within a few hours, he was on the phone praising how awesome it is to tell his truck to do something and experience it doing it. Phone calls, texting, googling, etc... He even set his GPS for home even though he's made the same trip about a million times over the years. He called with amazement at how his truck was warning him of speed traps and highway patrol cars ahead on the highway.
He's also solidly in the "No AI for me" column even though he's been unknowingly using and being amazed by it for the last couple of days.
I don't mind it. A tool is a tool, and quite frankly, it can be pretty entertaining. Case and point, here's how AI views Oklahoma.
