personal AI Effect
This page is from my personal notes, and has not been specifically reviewed for public consumption. It might be incomplete, wrong, outdated, or stupid. Caveat lector.- The AI Effect refers to the widely-recognized phenomenon that 'once we know how to do it, it's not AI'. For example, playing chess well was once considered a hard AI problem, but now it's 'just' a search problem. "AI is whatever hasn't been done yet." The original effect is described as applying to society at large as AI research progresses.
- However, I think there's a smaller-scale version that I've encountered in my personal development as an AI researcher: "once I know how to do it, it's not AI."
