Meh. I read about neural networking in the 1990s, and it has been around as a concept from the 1940s.

in 1943, Warren McCulloch and Walter Pitts created a computational model for neural networks. One approach focused on biological processes while the other focused on the application of neural networks to artificial intelligence.

The author stated that a 3 sentence passage would not be comprehensible 20 years ago, but not true. Anyone could understand what they were saying from the context.

Code that writes code, which he is essentially talking about, heck, I wrote one when I was a freshman back in 1980. Because code that writes code is what it all boils down to. Using fancy words might get someone a job promotion for using the current buzzwords, but that's just buzzwords.

Color me not impressed.
