What is Artificial Intelligence anyway?

I realized we’re living in the future, folks. A future where machines are smart enough to predict our needs but apparently not smart enough to understand that I just wanted to know if I should wear shorts or pants. Welcome to the wonderful, weird world of Artificial Intelligence, where your car’s GPS knows the fastest route to Starbucks but your smart fridge keeps suggesting you eat expired yogurt.

AI is like a genie in a lamp, but instead of three wishes you get three creepy ads for stuff you only mentioned once. You say, “my back hurts” and BAM: up pops an orthopedic massage mattress with free shipping and a bonus pillow with Taylor Swift’s face on it. That’s scary.
