  Okay, so getting back to this advanced English lesson, it's all about an article.

• 01:17

  The article appeared in the Guardian newspaper, which is a really nice source of well balanced articles that we like to read from time to time.

• 01:27

  And the particular heading in this particular article is another warning about the AI apocalypse.

• 01:35

  I don't buy it.

• 01:36

  So it's not my opinion, it's the opinion of the journalist who wrote the particular article.

• 01:41

  So he's just saying, or she is saying, another warning about the AI, the artificial intelligence apocalypse.

• 01:49

  People think we're coming into a major, major catastrophe dealing with artificial intelligence.

• 01:55

  And the journalist says, I don't buy it, meaning they don't necessarily agree with it.

• 02:01

  So what I'll do, I'll read it once just for you to get the gist of what it's about.

• 02:05

  Then I'll read it a second time, putting some stress on certain words, and then I'll come back and I'll give you an explanation as to the meaning of those particular words.
