Assumption Intelligence Epiphany [1]

['Mathy Kathy', 'Chitown Kev', 'Belinda Ridgewood', 'News Corpse', 'Bill In Portland Maine']

I have been struggling trying to understand AI. This AM I woke early, I usually do. My air purifiers are on high and hitting 70 orange and 69 red. I could probably use 3 more. It is smoky again today.

Excuses are made for AI not being able to get the picture. All AI sees is lines of code. Hooey. All I see is light reflecting off an image. It is upside-down on my retina. My actual intelligence figures out relative up and down and other input, flips it and I can see that the cart has 4 wheels and 2 baskets, not 2 wheels. The picture is a clue.

Assumption Intelligence can look at these lines of code translating the JPEG and never get the picture. It will go on all the live long day explaining to you the particulars of the 2 wheeled cart.

I am still holding a grudge that Assumption Intelligence doesn’t work like a magical microwave cooking dinner and figure stuff out for me.

At any rate, I just had to share my epiphany. I do love a good epiphany. Assumption Intelligence. (an an acronym worth spelling out)
