AI this, AI that. We are in 2025, and AI can do a lot. Will it steal human jobs? Who is to know? 'Grok, verify this", users ask on 'X' when they read news that seems too bizarre to be true. Google's very own AI wakes up every time you look up a query. ChatGPT and OpenAI are here to help you with assignments and college presentations.
