  • This is actually not true. You are referring to Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), an artificially intelligent system that is able to function in any context.

    Artificial Intelligence as a field of Computer Science goes back to the 50s, and is defined as systems that appear intelligent, not that actually exhibit thinking capabilities. The entire purpose of the Turing test is to appear intelligent, with no requirement that the system actually is.

    Rule based systems and statistical models are examples of AI in the scientific sense, but the public perception of what AI should mean is warped by portrayals in science fiction of what it could mean.








  • I completely disagree that it is not using anything that identifies the universe. The visual language of Star Wars is very strong, and even besides the obvious storm troopers this show captured it in its’ production design in a way that very few recent introductions have.

    I would argue that almost any frame could be immediately identified as star wars even if you hadn’t seen the show.
