Telephones, airplanes,motor cars, etc do not think. AI is supposed to think like humans. That is where the hype is.
That’s why I said that AI will excel in processes. If not A, then B. If not B, then C.
That is not to say that there won’t be original thinking from AI eventually, as it’s probably a single line of code that we haven’t figured out yet.
I think the original thinking aspect has been over hyped, but I’m not certain of its ability to crunch numbers is overhyped, which I don’t think that part is overhyped.
AI does not ‘think like humans’ and nobody believes or expects it to:
