You Look Like a Thing and I Love You: How Artificial Intelligence Works and Why It's Making the World a Weirder Place by Janelle Shane

3.0

The book was OK. I learned a lot about the current state of Artificial Intelligence and its shortcomings. The author clearly has a lot of experience with AI technology. I read this book as part of the Next Big Idea book club and was hoping I might learn more about the future potential of AI vs. today’s pitfalls. Like many disruptive technologies, AI might seem pathetic now, but with a doubling every year of capabilities, might soon become a formidable force in our world. I would have liked it a bit more if the author had shared her views on where this technology might go in the next five years.
