<quote>AI is a toy today.</quote>

I hate correcting you but the technically correct phrase is "The AI that you see is a toy today."

The stuff in the labs stays out of the public eye for a good reason. For example, is AI that could handle stock trading strategies. Not the stuff Wells Fargo tells you about when you check your balance or get money from the ATM. Stuff that's being run in data centers that don't have an address or signage. Data centers that are blurred out on Google Street View. Data centers with ten feet of fence topped with concertina wire.

And don't even ask about the NSA's data center in Utah...

Yes, there are lots of applications for AI that don't bother with that label in external or marketing communications. AI is a shark where you only see the fin called hype jutting above the surface.

The analogy goes well with the article image for today's Triad
