There's been a lot of talk about AI these days. For better or worse, it's here to stay, at least until the next big thing comes around. I do believe it has its uses, but I am strongly against it winnowing its way into writing and the arts no matter how cool it reads or looks.
Getting short shrift is its kid brother, robotics, which has been around for decades. I'm sure AI was in development a lot earlier than we can imagine, too, as the two are actually mutually compatible.
This article from MAN'S MAGAZINE (November 1959) reads more like a cautionary tale than something that would be chatted up more positively in say, POPULAR SCIENCE or POPULAR MECHANICS.
Once again I am reminded of Jeff Goldblum's character in JURASSIC PARK when he remarked: “Yeah, but your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could that they didn't stop to think if they should."
