For the foreseeable future, AI will be great at memorizing and pattern matching.

It’s no substitute for reasoning, intuition , and common F’n sense.

I guess that makes AI the ticket for Progressive Liberal Democrats.

AI is not very good at pattern matching, other than in the development laboratory.

A major part of the problem is that the humans that write the software allow themselves to become lulled by the belief that they're actually creating machine-generated abstract models of patterns, and that these models can be used to detect fact patterns out in the real world, where they don't control everything.

That's why robot vehicles have killed people.

That's why hedge funds that use AI to do program trading have blown up, losing trillions of dollars and causing Wall Street icons to go belly-up.
