I'm still waiting for the Virtual Reality from 1996 to change the world. Colour me surprised that AI is being found to be 90% hype.

- eesmith 2y agoAlso from the 1990s, "intelligent agents". Here's what Don Norman wrote in 1994 at https://dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1145/176789.176796 https://dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1145/176789.176796 : > The new crop of intelligent agents are different from the automated devices of earlier eras because of their computational power. They have Turing-machine powers, they take over human tasks, and they interact with people in human-like ways-perhaps with a form of natural language, perhaps with animated graphics or video. Some agents have the potential to form their own goals and intentions. to initiate actions on their own without explicit instruction or guidance, and to offer suggestions to people. Thus, agents might set up schedules, reserve hotel and meeting rooms, arrange transportation, and even outline meeting topics, all without human intervention.
