The Artificial Intelligence Question and Answer Book: ChatGPT answers questions about artificial intelligence and itself

by Ken McCarthy

Artificial Intelligence...It's the media craze of 2023, but how well has the news media shared the facts with you? For example, did you know * "Artificial Intelligence" has been around for nearly 70 years and the term was coined ten years before the "personal computer" appeared in print * Advanced Artificial Intelligence systems have been quietly driving high-profile Big Tech products and services behind the scenes for years and are an essential part of the backbone of Facebook and Twitter * Defense contractors are working on Artificial Intelligence projects that are so morally repugnant that MIT has decided to refuse millions of dollars in research and investment money related to them * Reuters and other news outlets used Artificial Intelligence to generate thousands of articles about COVID-19 during the media-induced COVID Panic of 2020-2022 * One of the most aggressive users of Artificial Intelligence with one of the biggest Artificial Intelligence industries on the planet is China - and they're not using it to help students write school papers or business owners create blog posts Veteran tech analyst and one of the key visionaries behind the commercialization of the Internet, Ken McCarthy, pulls back the curtain on what's real about Artificial Intelligence, what's make-believe, and what's an outright scam. The "artificial" part of Artificial Intelligence is truth in advertising. The book reveals who the primary funders of the technology are, their real motives, how AI's capacities are grossly overrated, and why programs like ChatGPT are an unreliable source of information at best and downright dangerous at worst.
