Not all AI is actually "artificial intelligence" — what you need to know

In August 1955, a group of scientists made a funding request for US$13,500 to host a summer workshop at Dartmouth College, New Hampshire. The field they proposed to explore was artificial intelligence (AI).

While the funding request was humble, the conjecture of the researchers was not: “every aspect of learning or any other feature of intelligence can in principle be so precisely described that a machine can be made to simulate it”.

Implementation of AI can be so creepy that you will not be able to detect that you are not communicating with a human

Essays and music generated by AI are quite remarkable. Especially essays tailored to mimic a certain author. I read a cloned Lee Child short story and it was quite uncanny. A bit larger than life compared with the real author but astonishing just the same

I am building an AI app and the learning part is just basic stats. Some randomness passed on to humans and the app learns their preferences.

Ben Shapiro got the AI chatbot to write a rap song on the book of Job in the style of Cardi B, and I thought that it was pretty good.
