Summary:
"You
look
like
a
thing
and
I
love
you" is one of the best pickup lines ever... according to an
artificial
intelligence
trained by scientist Janelle Shane, creator of the popular blog AI Weirdness. She creates silly AIs that learn
how
to name paint colors, create the best recipes, and even flirt (badly) with humans--all to understand the technology that governs so much of our daily lives. We rely on AI every day for recommendations, for translations, and to put cat ears on our selfie videos. We also trust AI with matters of life and death, on the road and in our hospitals. But
how
smart is AI really... and
how
does it solve problems, understand humans, and even drive self-driving cars? Shane delivers the answers to every AI question you've ever asked, and some you definitely haven't.

look

? And is the world'
s
best Halloween costume really "Vampire Hog Bride"? In this smart, often hilarious introduction to the most interesting science of our time, Shane shows
how
these programs learn, fail, and adapt--and
how
they reflect the best and worst of humanity. You
Look

You is the perfect book for anyone curious about what the robots in our lives are thinking."--Amazon.
