Stripping AI Back to Basics
The more I dig down to the coding roots of artificial intelligence, the more I see how it's portrayed badly. The sheer complexity of its variations is often what makes much of the media coverage and commentary fluffy and difficult to make sense of. Things are either totally absent from the conversation or massively overstated....
