'Safe'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Now that we're back to housework, can anyone answer my questions about Roombas and rugs?
Also, I recently read this book, which deals with AI rights, and enjoyed it quite a bit. For people who like this sort of thing, this is the sort of thing they will like. (Nothing much new in it,but it's a very pleasant read.)
What AI do we have around us anyway?
I'm pretty sure that automatic translation is considered an AI application. There used to be a geek joke that AI was always ten years away, it was just that the baseline kept shifting. Now it's here. Dayamn.
Things like robots that can walk are also AI.
I am ten seconds into the Bill O'Reilly clip, but so far, the best thing is that the band introduced him by playing "Baba O'Riley."

Even when it sucks?
No, I'm being harsh--it's way better than me staring at a screen of Russian, but still.
People were probably scared of robots too, right, the unintelligent kind -- just the idea that this machine could follow instructions and make stuff and TAKE AWAY JOBS must have freaked people out.
For a second.
But we still haven't reached a point where an AI can take a human's job, have we? At least, not if the human was doing it well.
Facial recognition! That's AI too, right?

Telephone operators?
Even when it sucks?
Yup. I didn't say it was *finished* AI, just that it is an AI application that is in very widespread use. It isn't usable standalone, but it greatly increases the efficiency of human translators.

Yeah! Someone answer Jess's question! I want one.
I am pretty sure amych has a roomba.
Wasn't it "Won't Get Fooled Again"?
The thing is, once you get used to it, you don't think of it as AI any more. Voice recognition is in enormously widespread use, and it's definitely an AI technology.
