AI is a distraction. there IS NO artificial "intelligence" in the sense that ordinary people understand the term.
what is called AI are glorified expert systems, massive databases with spiffy user interfaces. NOTHING MORE.
"intelligence" is intuitively understood to mean sentience, free will, and self-impetus.
put two chatbots in the same room, alone, and neither will INITIATE a conversation.
that's NOT intelligence, artificial or otherwise. so all the chatter here is nothing but a MASSIVE SLIDE.
