My personal definition of Artificial Intelligence (AI) encompasses software that uses machine learning to dynamically acquire and then execute a skill. This specifically means the use of a neural network to mimic human learning through teaching and iteration (as opposed to fixed, preset algorithms). When put to a task, a neural network seemingly is capable of breaking a problem down into numerical values, according to which it will then act to maximize a score. The score is often called " | My personal definition of Artificial Intelligence (AI) encompasses software that uses machine learning to dynamically acquire and then execute a skill.

The world seemed to implode for a moment when ChatGPT was released in 2022. Just briefly, society was under the impression to be getting a glimpse of the future and the arms race towards AI was on. Since then, everything is now AI, even toasters are hard to get without it. The problem is that it takes a lot of processing power and time to train AI, so most of the AI you will find in pretty much every product that didn't need one is total garbage and does things awfully or in a way that is almost useful but would have been easier to do yourself.\\ | The world seemed to implode for a moment when ChatGPT was released in 2022.

- | And while I can understand agree with these points as a concept, it does not lead me to the same conclusion. My then-bestfriend is staunchly Anti-AI, whereas I felt like AI wasn't the problem and that AI is //good//, it's just the way it's currently implemented that is, admittedly, bad. Like, for any of the points there is something you could respond: Yes, the artwork is stolen, but your brain too is trained on the things it sees around it.

So, let's talk about cars. Cars have a problem. Primarily, cars are terrible for the environment. They require infrastructure that makes our cities look ass with all the roads, they reduce the walkability of our cities, they disincentivise the creation of tightly-knit communities, | So, let's talk about cars.
