The AI title is veeeery tenuous/baity, but this is a fun read nonetheless. Upvoted.

I think the connection is pretty clear: people have always wanted to know things without having to learn them.

Well the book does promise to give the reader intelligence and knowledge acquired through means other than the natural way. So in, that way I think “artificial” makes sense.

I think it’s a bit tongue in cheek and maybe a slight jab aimed at people that use AI(LLMs) to appear smarter than they are.

The text was interesting.
