Shit dude you’re making me feel old.

No one even knew what AI was back then

It was more about every computer malfunctioning at the same time because the coding of the years was only 2 digits so there was no way of logically putting coding in the year 2000 and beyond.

This did cause some glitches and stuff, but nothing crazy, people thought that nukes were going to go off and that airplanes would drop out of the sky and no form of communication.

I’m only 28 though so it’s not like I actually experienced it.

It was going to be bad, people tested it by setting the clocks forward on test versions of important systems. But because they tested it, they knew how to fix it to prevent everything from going crazy.
