Well a.i. probably looks for patterns, like us. And now that there’s a lot more data to take in, or at least different data, or an increased rate of change in data, there’s some thought to be done on what that means for pattern recognition from the human perspective. Remember, there’s so much data, but we can only focus on a certain percentage, so your focus is going to perhaps allude to meaning, despite it not being meaningful.

A lot has changed in the last 20 years, and if we examine human evolution, remember we hit big tech strides all at once and then there’s usually some sort of limiter, which stops progress. One step forward, two steps back type of thing. We retain a piece of what we learn each time, hopefully, and if Darwin was correct, it helps us survive.
