“You look like a thing and I love you” is one of the best pickup lines ever…according to an artificial intelligence trained by the scientist Janelle Shane
Everyday, we put our faith in AI to help us with everything from unlocking our phones to diagnosing and treating illness. Nevertheless, how savvy is AI, really? Every question about artificial intelligence you’ve ever had, and some you never would have thought to ask (such, “How can a machine build the ideal sandwich?”) are answered by Shane.
Can you imagine what it would be like if a computer wrote a Harry Potter fanfic? Is “vampire hog bride” really the coolest Halloween costume ever? Shane explains how these robots learn, fail, and adapt—and how they mirror the best and worst of humanity—in this astute and frequently humorous introduction to the most exciting science of our time.
