About 30 years ago I picked up my first AI textbook. We were taught how to use processor-power to emulate AI.
I had a project that implemented a human-machine interface .... for example, pulling data records out of a large database. The programming progressed much faster than could be expected. I did understand at the time that these AI concepts could eventually be used for good, or evil. I was working with nuclear weapons, where a programming mistake would be catastrophic.
These days I LOVE AI. I'm no longer technically savvy. With age, I have developed cognitive issues and can no longer keep up with the underlying technology, AI always gives me the correct answers (or answers I think are correct).
We have to let the world change ... for better or for worse. Change will happen tomorrow, and into infinity.
Hi Scott! Wow. That's very interesting, and very cool that you are using it! You're ahead of most my age, haha. I agree with what you said about change, as well. It's why I want to have a future in elected office, and why my faith in this country can never be broken no matter how bleak it looks.
As for not seeing how it ends, don't be so sure! Things are progressing fast.

I won't be here to see how it ends.

Always so great to hear from you. Yours, Charlie
