"AI is the phrase behind which magic hides and people love magic. Everything that has the aura of “humans don’t fully understand how it works in detail” will be used by charlartans, snake oil salesmen and conmen."
...that should really be quantum computing right now.
Quantum will be the next 'AI', like blockchain was the last one. :-)
I think you're right. I'm hoping that "show me your qubits" will put a stop to that. It's easy to see qubits because they're hardware; it's a little harder to see a local minima-avoiding heuristic search algorithm.
What about the quantum blockchain?
What about AI-managed quantum blockchain!
The enormous quantum computer artificial intelligence augmented virtual reality blockchain at the center of the galaxy should be named "Deep Chopra".
