Program Interests • • • • • • Graphics / Animation History Rocketry / Engineering / Science Reading Fine Art / Painting Modeling / Crafts AI Viewpoint This has recently become a more powerful tool. I use AI every day for auto-completions etc. My daughter uses it to ask questions . A tool is exactly what it is however. I have written my own neural-network / machine-learning algorithms from the ground up. I understand the role that statistical learning plays and see also that most of what we see today in the media is little more (all be it very impressive and useful) illusion of what, I believe, intelligence is.
