These are unbelievably exciting times, which seem light years away from the day I heard my grandmother marveling at the fact that the plane could not only take off and fly, but actually carry humans within. I tried to reference this extraordinary leap in another area here in the forum, but realized that the fact that the ability, once taught to perform a task, quickly lead to the ability to build better tasks and better abilities, far more quickly and completely than we are able, is already reality in AI. All the data we toss around freely is already being put to use in ways beyond most humans ability to comprehend.
