Bear with me if this comes off as ignorant.

Is there / are there a set of programming languages or commands specific to AI App development, or is this more like "adding" AI functionality to your existing Apps, written in various native languages like Andriod, IOS (Swift?) etc?

For example, the tutorial page has some code in a file called AI.JSX. Is this an AI specific programming language, or is it an example in 1 particular programming language?

Can a layperson who doesn't have much programming experience in traditional languages learn AI App Development provided they put the time in, or is it a very steep learning curve, and as such not advisable?

AI.JSX (https://github.com/fixie-ai/ai-jsx) is a framework specific to AI App development, but it's built to integrate with React / JS UI development.

So I think the answer to your question is "both". :) To build an AI app, you need many of the same skills you need to build any other type of app. But it's not like AI is some spooky thing that only ML pros can touch. It's accessible to any dev.

One of the best documentation and tutorials I have seen in a while. Thank you!
