Tells my non-programming friend that it's way more complex to program an A.I. that simply distinguishes a tree, than to make a program that adds up for like, a billion numbers...

SHE DOESN'T BELIEVE ME.

A.I. is difficult but lots of progress in recent years.

Go with her for a walk. Tell her to go any place she wants. Ask her, at every step why is she taking that decision and which information is using for it. I did that with my ex, after 3min she told me "omg, that's so difficult!" my answer "babe, I can make an squadron hide, follow and kill you when nobody is looking"
Sex was great that day 😃
