summary

In this thought-provoking essay, the author challenges the commonly held belief that artificial intelligence (AI) exists. He argues that AI, as it is commonly understood – a system capable of replicating human-like intelligence and consciousness – is purely a fictional concept. The author explains that what is typically referred to as AI is actually a combination of computational algorithms and machine learning techniques, which can perform specific tasks but lack true understanding or awareness. He delves into the limitations and misconceptions surrounding AI, questioning its ethical implications and the dangers of its misrepresentation. Through a philosophical lens, the author prompts readers to reconsider their understanding of AI and the implications of its continued development.
