In the twenty-one years since I last read Terry Pratchett’s “Hogfather”, Artificial Intelligence has re-emerged as the great hope and fear of technology-based visions of the future.
I was glad to find that, decades ago, Terry Pratchett understood things about AI that well-funded research projects are only now daring to voice.
I give you the words of Archchancellor Ridcully of the Unseen University:
“Real stupidity beats artificial intelligence every time.”
