My chat with Elon Musk AI on FTL Space Travel The immense power of AI is being wasted. Yes, it can, and has, been used to create astounding pictures, even videos. It has been used to generate stories, articles, and text answers to any questions that humans ask one another. But it's this last part that needs exploring, or exploding, perhaps. Here, a FTL spaceship is discussed with Elon Musk AI. Did we succeed?
