    Proposed New Test of AI Capabilities:)

    When Microsoft can turn a fleet of LLMs loose on the Azure UX, and Google can do the same for the Google Adwords UX, and reduce their level of dreadfulness substantially, it will g…

    What I don't think people are talking enough about yet, is that AI doesn't invent new ways of doing things -- it just predicts the next word based on the materials it was trained o…

    We've all seen that if you are interacting with an AI over a lengthy chat, eventually it loses the plot. It gets confused. It appears to me that it's necessary, when coding an AI, …
