Anyone who read science fiction as a youth, must surely cringe at the way AI is used. Its a barely disguised synonym of magic.

- robertAngst 7y agoAI in 2019 is useful math + programming. AI in books is impossible in 2019. I don't cringe, but then again, my boss is really happy with the AI program I built. Maybe its time to change definitions or terms.
- wolfgke 7y ago> Maybe its time to change definitions or terms. You should not change definitions/terms, but rather introduce new definitions/terms if you want to express something different.
- eli_gottlieb 7y ago>Maybe its time to change definitions or terms. Nah, I prefer having something to keep me cynical and disappointed every time another "cutting-edge AI" application comes out. As a research community, we should be held accountable for our failures to achieve the real shit, the full-on Charles Stross vision.
- antod 7y agoNot necessarily. The main example (that stuck with me) of AI in books I read as a kid 35 yrs ago was the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation. Now I think that was eerily prescient.
