This was a nice read.

I'm glad that AI, neural networks, machine learning, and the like are all becoming more main stream terms. The more people hear about it, the more It gets them asking questions-- What is this stuff, really? How does it affect me? Can I build something with it? --Curiosity keeps us all learning.

However, it does kill me to see these terms thrown out so excessively in a buzz-word only fashion, with no true explanation behind them. It's great when sophisticated fields are able to become accessible by the masses, just like AI and crypto are becoming now, but it's discouraging to see all the shallow buzz around these disciplines simply being used as marketing gimmicks.
