And even though I have been married to a great woman for over 43 years, I do not have much of a clue about her either.

Wikipedia states AI is the intelligence of machines or software, as opposed to humanities intelligence. Invented in 1956, but not developed until 2012, eleven years later it is in use throughout industry, government, and scientific communities. Google, Netflix, Amazon, You Tube, Siri, and Alexa are examples of companies already using AI.

Did you follow that, folks? AI is already here and in use. While we were busy raising kids, trying not to die from COVID, trying to eke out a living and all of other life’s mundane activities, artificial intelligence has already been employed all around us. This is particularly aggravating to me as I read AI is able to author novels at a time when I just finally got the time to do it myself.

The thing about AI is it never stops learning and does so at speeds we cannot wrap our head around. Its goals are general intelligence, including reasoning, knowledge, representation, planning, learning, natural language processing, perception and support for robotics. Wait – support for robotics?
