[QUOTE="berserker2001, post: 1460162, member: 18233"] I went to grad school primarily for data science and left thinking that AI was incredibly over-rated and nowhere close to the hype after going to many data science conferences at Purdue circa 2017-2019... AI is only as good as the programmer which seems like it has pretty rigid ceilings. My gut after all these conferences was that it is mostly a hype-machine and Tower of Babel- mostly a creation of mankind's vanity but nowhere close to doing the things a layperson believes based on advertising. There are no reliable driving cars yet, Siri and Google maps still make tons of mistakes, and most algorithms are pretty limited when you really sit down and think about them. That being said, of course there are immensely massive data centers built by Google and Facebook out in the middle of nowhere in the deserts of Nevada and Arizona. Lord only knows what is going on inside there... Those are all pretty hush-hush and VIP access only, the things you don't advertise to the public but you spend a vast amount of your enterprise corporate budget on. [/QUOTE]
