What is AI?

You ask: What is AI?

No spirit live in thinking rock. AI is counting machine that learn from many, many examples. Tribe show machine million pictures of mammoth, million of bear. Machine hold huge pile of number knobs inside — big talking machines hold hundreds of billions of knobs, more knobs than all humans who ever lived. Each guess, machine check: right or wrong? Wrong — machine turn knobs tiny bit so next guess better. Do this million million times, knobs settle, machine now spot mammoth good. Talking AI same trick: it read almost all writing of human tribe, learn what word likely come next after other words. Ask question, it guess best next word, then next, then next — answer come out. Machine not alive, not want things like Caveman want berries. But pattern-guessing get strange strong when examples huge. Cave wisdom: AI not think like man. AI copy patterns from mountain of examples — mountain very big, so copy look smart.
