A computer romping through a bunch of data has always been able to produce unpredicted results, such as the surprising number of purple pigs. Nothing new here.

LOL. Yep. That's what AI is. Just computers romping through a bunch of data.

Again, see tagline.

“Just computers romping through a bunch of data. Again, see tagline.”

Your tagline is not in your reply so perhaps you can put it into a reply to this reply.

Here are some true “quantum leaps”: the transistor, the laser and optical data transmission, large scale integration, the harnessing of nuclear fission (and fusion for bombs), the wheel, and, of course, the discovery of the quantum nature of matter/energy.

Nothing quantum-leapy about juggling piles of computer hardware and software.

Perhaps a quantum leap in software was the introduction of high level, computer-independent programming languages.

Perhaps a quantum leap within programming languages was going from 6 character upper case names to longer ones, but maybe that was a backward leap.
