From Dick Tracy to AI: Out of Mind to Beyond Mind

Demystifying AI's evolution, from Netflix recommendations to ChatGPT, exploring how neural networks learn & why even AI creators can't fully explain how it works.

Summary

🎙️ What the Heck is AI, Anyway? New episode alert! I sit down with tech expert Eric Pinaud to demystify artificial intelligence. Whether AI-curious or AI-anxious, this conversation breaks down complex concepts into digestible insights.

We explore:

• The evolution from Narrow AI (like Netflix recommendations) to today's Broad AI (like ChatGPT)

• How AI learns through neural networks - similar to how we learn music or new skills

• Why even AI's creators can't fully explain how it works

• The environmental cost: ChatGPT's daily operations cost $700k and use massive energy

Most importantly, we discuss how AI is becoming more accessible - anyone can ask questions and get answers, regardless of technical expertise. Though powerful, AI still needs human wisdom and judgment to be truly useful.
