I’ve experienced two speculative bubbles in my boomer lifetime. It will soon be three.

A.I. is no different. It isn’t artificial intelligence it’s imitation intelligence. Machines mimicking the mind’s ability to store and retrieve data on command.

Superior to the mind is intelligence. Intelligence is understanding the context of that data and the concept of some things being “self-evident”.

The mind is predicable, intelligence isn’t. Some geniuses have the ability to memorize things, but other savants have an ability to see relationships hidden to others—that’s the difference between mind and intelligence.
