According to Mo #scarysmart, the guy in Oregon who was playing with the cats and dogs could not figure out why the robots were not finding cats or dogs. Do you know what #ai found a perfect pattern for? The Bokhen style. If you are not into photography, that detail won’t make any sense to you, but if you are a photography geek like me, you will know right away which lens is the best for portrait photography. Of course, the robot found the most obvious pattern — the way humans currently have photography tech set up is to have nice Bokhen on portraits. Not gonna go into an 8 or 16 star sun stars discussion… Good glass is EXTREMELY expensive. If I were optimizing that robot, I would also be able to get a very accurate description of the health of that dog and cat and their owner simply by the metadata embedded in addition to the actual Bokhen pattern.

Just a reminder, I call AI #robot and AGI ( artificial general intelligence) nothing for now. Most likely, it will be Bob, but that’s another story.

So, when the robot is tasked with creating #smartplanet, minus the cloud infrastructure and potential to fry anything carbon with radiation from the sheer…
