All it probably took was a single security flaw and those IoT / Internet of Things devices were quickly turned into an IoB / Internet of Bots. Crazy.

My guess is that eventually there'll be bot armies controlled by AI as well as AI trained for hacking. Probably exists to some extent already. Mix in some LLM stuff and... I suppose we are in store for an interesting tech future.

It kinda sounds crazy even today. In the 50's, might not have even made sense to most people back then. But by the 60s they had The Jetsons & Star Trek...
