Funny but still hefty and deep look at AI and algorithms and the need for humans to do a better job programming them and watching AI at work because of all the ways things can go wrong.

Such a good intro to AI and so so funny. I kept reading sections out loud to my partner, to the point where I would laugh and he'd ask me to tell him. Maybe having a bit of a math/stats background helps but I found it really approachable and would recommend it to just about anyone. Obviously a little out of date now but still good to understand where we were just 4 years ago.

Its All Giraffes

An absolutely fun and interesting book.

I learned so much about AI and how it learns and how it finds it's own shortcuts.

I found this a really fresh and interesting book.

It is quite a funny read, and I found myself laughing while reading a lot.

But it is a really serious book too, and probably one of the best books on AI theory I've read in a while.

4.7/5

~18 secrets snowmen won't tell you~

An AI programmer recounts the advances, problems, and benefits of modern (2019) AI systems. I don't feel like I learned that much, but man were there some really funny quotes! I bumped it up 0.5 star just for the laughs.
