10. Let me tell you a story...

Back in ‘95, I was teaching a class on how computers work to a group of programmers with 2-3 years experience each. I got to the part where I explained the a cpu can only execute one instruction at a time. One of the guys raised his hand and said “ But Bill Gates recently said they had developed a cpu that could multitask”.

I told him the Bill Gates was lying to him. They had created a chip that had multiple CPU’s but the fact is, each one only executed one instruction at a time… This is still true today.

Offering what the people making and selling the so called “AI’s” to back your point is meaningless… Consider your source.

If you would like to come to Colorado and visit, I’ll give you a several hundred hours worth of training in the reality of how all this works. I won’t try to do it on a message board.

Facts are facts and programs don’t learn and they don’t get trained and they don’t have any of the multitude of human traits you insist on giving them.

Joe… Out.
