COMMENT: AI is “The Thing” these days. Many (Mr. Emory includ­ed) are ter­ri­fied about the pos­si­bil­i­ties of the new tech­nol­o­gy.

In a Zoom meet­ing, a Sil­i­con Val­ley AI pro­fes­sion­al shared his insights and expe­ri­ence with the tech­nol­o­gy.

John addressed a num­ber of con­sid­er­a­tions about what the tech­nol­o­gy can and can’t do and what it real­ly is.

The pre­sen­ta­tion was alto­geth­er infor­ma­tive and it enriched Dav­e’s under­stand­ing of this new technology–literally a “Star-Trekkian” (to coin a term) New Fron­tier.

Some of the com­ments on the Spitfirelist.com web­site by our bril­liant con­tribut­ing edi­tor “Pter­rafractyl” were addressed:
