MachCiv Book Tour – Day 11

I’m invited by Linda Nightingale…Musings to talk a little about  how current real-world AI compares to my machine people.  Spoiler:  they aren’t and likely never shall be anything like one another.  I take a well-earned swipe at ‘journalists’ and even work a little religion in.  A fun little essay… enjoy!
