The linked image search result for "AI" actually consists primarily of brain-shaped circuit boards which, y'know, is actually not a terrible metaphor for artificial intelligence.

Personally, I'm kind of partial to Google's Cloud AI logo [2], but I work here (Cloud, not AI) so I may be biased.

Just for LOLs I went to his website mentioned in the article ready to pounce on a stock image of a brain or robot somewhere on there, but the author is true to his word and only has pictures of flowcharts, screenshots (yes, and actual code) and images of facial recognition at work, which is how most people experience face recognition ML. Kudos to him for walking the talk.


Andrew Ng's course icon is great. The conclusion in the article is not correct.


I think it's meant as a friendly jab.


interesting point.

people like to dream.

pictures of code would be worse.
