Parts of this book were interesting and thought-provoking. I learned new things and felt inspired to continue learning more about AI. Some really good takeaways and in general super optimistic, innovative, and cutting edge.

But holy moly, it went too far. Dumped a ton of information that went over my head. There was not enough consideration given to the fact that things might not be perfect or could be... wrong! It took away from the credibility of the arguments made in the book and was alienating.

Also, Seana laughed at me for reading this book. 3 stars.

This is the most recent book I’ve found on Audible about artificial intelligence. I found parts interesting, and while I already knew most of the insights, it's a good starting point and a must-read if you’re interested in this topic. This is especially true given the current landscape of blog posts and more or less sensible snippets of content on the subject, but very few lengthy, thoughtful, and in-depth analyses of a rapidly evolving (and often overhyped) topic like AI.
The fact that it was written using AI for some tasks, and that the author explicitly says so in the beginning, is refreshing in a world where a lot of content is written with AI (and in some cases by AI alone) but people would never admit it.

I am surprised this book doesn't have hire ratings (currently at 3). I thought it does an excellent job covering the history of developments that led to the current (2023) state of AI. It goes to depth to cover the potential future direction of the major players and approaches in the field and where it all might go. I will day that the author is a bit too friendly/enamored by openai. He barely touches on Anthropic for instance. Either way, a very good book to get a good sense what the field of AI is all about.

Pretty sure this book was mostly written by AI. It even gives up the game at what point where the author refers to itself as Generative AI. Lots of good info, often repeated.
