    AI is laughably bad right now, but it’s a start. We’re looking at a technology in it’s infancy

    Well…

    The field of AI research was founded at a workshop held on the campus of Dartmouth College, USA during the summer of 1956.

    The first machine learning algorithm was devised in 57. Back propagation in 74. IBM defeated Kasparov in 97.

    The field is making steady progress but it’s not exactly an infant and there’s no telling at which rate it will progress in the future.

      Fair enough that “infancy” might ne a misnomer, but let’s call it AI as we currently know it and where it can go.

      We know that AI can do much MUCH better than currently, as our brains can do much better too. I don’t think it’s wrong to state that if our brains can do it, then one day computers can do it too, and likely a whole lot better than our brains are doing it.
