I'm pretty sure most video games require AI already. I stuggle to name ones that don't use AI. Some that I can think of are snake, two-player pong and two-player chess.

Neural nets specifically, on the other hand - I find it hard to imagine running a NN locally without impacting the game's performance.

Did you generate this comment with a LLM for irony?

Those that I find the most useful are those that I (and likely many others) tend to take for granted.

For example, fuzzy logic may very well be used in electronics that involve temperature control - fridge, aircon, rice cooker, water heater - under the hood.

Another one is CSP (constraint-satisfaction problems) solvers which tend to be used in scheduling softwares. A possible use case is public transportation.

There are probably lots more AIs working behind the scenes that benefit everyone, but don't get the coverage because they are just boring tech now. People may not even consider them AI!

I appreciate these AI for making my life so convenient.

Just thought the phrasing is funny because it is like ATM machine.

ETF index fund

ETF is exchange-traded fund, so "ETF index fund" becomes "exchange-traded fund index fund"

Personally, I found Khan Academy helpful.

For context I studied computer science with a focus on artificial intelligence, machine learning and data science.

Given your background, you may also be interested in Georgia Tech OMSCS's Machine Learning for Trading.

Unless you have plenty of time and knowledge - in which case you might as well be a daytrader or join a hedge fund or HFT - you are likely better off taking the easy way out by buying index ETFs.

This post is more fitting for !anime@ani.social IMO.

what is the difference between current AI and the human brain?

My understanding is that: the fields of neuroscience and psychology are not developed enough (at this point in time) for anyone to provide a definitive answer to this question.

Anyone who claims otherwise would probably have to make assumptions, and may be talking out of their ass.

yet further down, IBM alone has replaced "hundreds" of HR employees with AI. Which is it?

The article is implying that claims like these are bogus, no?

Capital Economics analysts warned that some firms use AI as cover for cuts driven by poor financial performance. “For some firms, AI is a way to spin job losses driven by poor financial performance in a more positive light,” they wrote.

The AI job apocalypse narrative serves multiple purposes: it justifies hiring freezes, explains away poor financial performance, and creates urgency around AI adoption.

I suspected as much too: that the people in-charge are using AI as a scapegoat so that the anger that would have been directed at them gets turned towards AI instead.

Given that there's a vocal minority of Lemmings who blindly hate AI, I'd say their propaganda has definitely found at least some success.
