An interesting and eye-opening look into the AI hype

AI isn't as smart as we're being led to believe. While a few years old by this point, many of the points that Shane makes are still true.

It's a fascinating look into the current tech hype along with some of the types of attacks that it suffers from.

Highly recommended.

how many giraffes are in this review

i read this, like many people did i suspect, because i like Janelle Shane's AI Weirdness blog. This book does rehash some of the material from the blog as you'd expect, but the focus is more on explaining AI in a non-technical, non-sensational, & friendly manner. Probably the people who would get the most out of it are those whose knowledge of AI begins & ends with how they're portrayed in the news & in fiction.
