[cctalk] Re: AI applied to vintage interests

But "we" or "they" have been calling the IBM PC a 16 bit computer for ages. The question is what type of information has the ai been programmed to deliver. Higjly accurate technical info? Or info that is suitable for the umwashed masses? Could the ai be called upon to assist a surgeon doing a type of operation for the first time? Help someone remove a transmission? To what degree does it simply rely on sites and chat. Does it consult pdfs of books? It might ne asking too much at this stage. But there was the 1 engineer who claimed the thing was alive. You'd get the impression this whole endeavor is more about marketing and Google's image then anything else.
