An excellent illustration of how, while computer hardware is vastly more powerful than it was 30 years ago, software has not really changed in any fundamental way. Sure, software can handle much larger datasets and process instructions much faster now due to the greater available horsepower, but that’s about it.

AI has its place, but the attempt to make it emulate human comprehension and judgment is just a fancy parlor trick. What concerns me most is that people who don’t understand how it actually works will put too much faith in it, falsely believing that it is all knowing and all wise. The notion that AI will inevitably become “self-aware” and conscious is absurd, borne out of sci-if movies and the imaginings of atheistic materialists in the “sciences.” They are completely off-base in assuming that consciousness is a product of nothing other than a sufficiently sophisticated neural network, whether a human brain or a silicon imitation of one.
