A crash course on AI

Update 1: added an album of AI edit quirks below

Update 2: a fresh French look into the future of AI - new: incl. an AI-driven comic

Update 3: AI as a means not an end in-and-of itself

Update 4: a variety of outlooks & further resources

Update 5: a manifesto of sorts closes this brief

Ongoing: I add items of interest under: "AI-ding Tool"

New twist: look for AI-assisted story-telling below

New blog header: Web maps & AI for the public good

Have I mentionned that AI will need skilled writers more than skilled coders? Forbes wrote here about a US efforts in that regard. The one thing AI won't replace,  acc. to the starred (* Caltech.. ) "AI-ding Tool" example below is curiosity:  it mirrors Steve Jobs' "stay hunheregry, stay foolish" at Stanford 2005 Commencement Address here.

This post follows on my last AI trial, a long conversation here. Let's see here some lessons-learned in this blog, Medium Professional Channel here, Personal one here & elsewhere:

Science, Science Fiction, and AI

This essay was improved using Lia27 app here (see more on AI assisting in writing here, as well as author Rie Qudan in next post here).

A journey linking the "three arts" of the 21st century: let's try to expand the mind and thought at a human speed and depth in this world of "fast food", "fake news" and "brain rot"; the current media trend which, contrary to Montaigne (Wikipedia), makes a head well-filled rather than a head well-made! "Brain rot is a term used to describe the perceived negative cognitive and emotional effects of excessive consumption of low-quality or unchallenging online content leading to reduced attention spans, impaired critical thinking, and mental fatigue." The following demonstrates how a ''head well made'' is of paramount importance:

Science is also demonstrating forward thinking. As such, Andras Kovacs, Jussi Lindgren, and Jukka Liukkonen have proposed a way to unify the theories of gravitation and electromagnetism into a unified field theory. Very roughly speaking, light and gravity are four-dimensional waves in space-time, but light is compressed back and forth, and gravity is compressed up and down. Is it one step towards Einstein's dream of a unified field theory accomplished?
