Probably the best treatment of AI I have read. On your Pat Buchanan point, I think we hurt undergraduates greatly with this “open book” mentality regarding learning. Just because you can Google anything doesn’t mean you can properly “float” in the history and build theses on a base of it. Sadly, many young PhDs even suffer from this lack of expertise of knowing breadth across important areas.

To AI, I see it as some increasingly complicated “if statements” that one writes in Excel. We would behoove learning more of our subjects similarly to Dr. Brands otherwise it really is “garbage in, garbage out.”
