Stop Calling Everything AI, Machine-Learning Pioneer Says

Michael I. Jordan explains why todayโ€™s artificial-intelligence systems arenโ€™t actually intelligent

IEEE Spectrum
It's a Britney kind of day.

Shop keeper Phyllis used her computer system to automate book keeping, taking the time to prepare from five hours to five minutes.

Having learned the system down to hardware level, Phyllis is now building an electronics kit. Her aim? Build a computer herself; Or as we called it an โ€œelectronic gadgetโ€.

What Phyllis doesnโ€™t say is she was a maths graduate from University and โ€œ#Cypher Clerkโ€ in โ€œHut 5โ€ at #BletchleyPark during the war.

Theโ€Official Secrets Actโ€ was in force in 1983 ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿคฃโ˜บ๏ธ

One of the major difficulties Trillian experienced in her relationship with Zaphod was learning to distinguish between him pretending to be stupid just to get people off their guard, pretending to be stupid because he couldn't be bothered to think and wanted someone else to do it for him, pretending to be outrageously stupid to hide the fact that he actually didn't understand what was going on, and really being genuinely stupid.

Not bad.

The explosives arriving do not need a signature. Good, good.

Sadly, I donโ€™t have any late-1960s mainframes or punchcards from then, but our pantry has an early 1990s SGI Espressigo, a Gaggia espresso machine built into an Indigo workstation case, created by our Munich office, mostly found in SGI offices, but a few of us bought them for home.
Rain properly you coward.
