My brother sends me pics from sunny California periodically through the winter time to remind me how the other half lives.

Holy cr@p.
Whether or not that should be "wholly cr@p" remains to be seen, but I think it's likely.
The nightmare scenario is that it will encourage script kiddies to add untrained AIs as background processes on web pages.

Well, luckily, Quantum Computing will become "cwantum computing" just as Artificial Intelligence has become "machine learning" over time, since we all know that neither one of those original terms are real*.

It's both executing and not until you look at it.
Impressive resume too:
