Around 1995 my uncle showed me an #AI that could successfully guess what a user was thinking about within a particular category, similar to the game 20 questions.
My uncle's name was Alan Woodhouse, a 156 IQ computer #programmer who worked for what was then called the #Wellcome Foundation.
Unfortunately Alan is no longer alive so I am no longer able to converse with him, but I wanted to mention that the kind of AI that is now being made available #online in the public domain existed in 1995 if not earlier.
Unless there has been little to no AI #development since 1995, it seems obvious that what we're seeing in the public domain is at least 30 years behind where the cutting edge of #covert AI development truly is.
