Apparently.

I think I know a fair amount about research in general, but not, it appears, much about the current state of A.I. research.

The truth is that a lot of the sites that you use on a regular basis -- Google, Facebook, Amazon, eBay, last.fm, your bank, your webmail provider, etc. etc. etc. -- all rely on different kinds of AI for parts of their functionality.

You are exposed to and using AI all the time.
