@jigso @jk As I’ve come to understand it, it’s only considered ”AI” if it’s mostly useless. We don’t consider the statistical models in auto complete (or spell check) as ”AI” because it kind of works fine. Same with facial recognition in photo album software, or navigation in robotic vacuum cleaners. Thus, since the rubber duck works it can not be considered fulfilling this criteria for ”AI”.

@jigso @jk someone said they figured out their own answer while typing into an AI and the reaction was like "so you reinvented THINKING?" 😂

@jigso @jk I kept a stuffed animal in my cubicle for anyone to borrow as needed e.g. debugging.

@jigso @jk I'm convinced that a significant fraction of the ai success stories are people independently rediscovering rubber duck debugging.
