Practical AI

This is a book about AI written by a human for humans. Specifically, this book is written for the reader that wants to apply AI to their life as quickly as possible, without being bothered to take time to figure out how what you're doing is actually working, or the consequences. Those are problems for someone else to worry about. Excerpts from "Practical AI" --"In the world of software engineering, most initial interactions with computers when you are learning a new language begin with a simple "Hello, World!". This is an attempt to humanize and simplify a machine that will quickly begin to punish you for all the mistakes you'll proceed to make trying to communicate with it in the years to come." "...the best way to obtain a working understanding of AI is to abuse its power until you've gone too far, then step back just a little." "... before you get your hopes up about the end of this book and your burgeoning relationship with your AI life partner, no, this AI life partner does not offer any sort of 'happy endings' - and is most definitely not any sort of AI partner that comes with 'benefits'."
