AI is an attempt to help computers appear to think. A simple example is matching parts of an object to the object itself. Humans are good at that, but computers are real bad at that.

For example, if I showed the average human 50 pictures of parts of a dog, such as a tail, a snout, an ear etc, even a child can identify it as a dog. A non-AI computer would not know what it is, as they need to match the pictures to a whole dog to ID it. If the computer just happened to have the exact picture of the dog part stored and labeled as a dog, it could ID it. That is the basis of AI.

What the data centers do is take small pieces of data, say a dog's ear and label it as a dog, and ask the computer to match it to the picture. They need to do this with each and every piece of data, hence the huge amount of processing and storage requirements.

nOf course, if they mislabel, or misidentify the data, mistakes are them made in identifying the item.

Great explanation

AI is in the infant stages of development. It'll eventually take over, but that's another subject.

The first automobiles weren't much compared to today's road blasters, capable of going 200+ mph. Yes, a steam powered version set a land speed record of 120mph, but it wasn't meant to haul people across country.

So, I don't expect current AI to perform the same as a fully developed system decades from now. But, I use it all the time and it's been a great tool for me even in these early days. Just a couple days ago I had to summarize a daily health log from the last 3 months into a small table which only included the pertinent data. I explained to the AI what I needed and dumped it into the window. In seconds it came up with a table which was winnowed down and included only the data I needed, which I promptly forwarded to my doc. Doing that same work myself would have taken hours as I pored over hundreds of entries.

AI is a useful tool even, but it's not a replacement for a human. Yet!
