Just finished You Look Like a Thing and I Love You by Janelle Shane. Shane uses funny examples from her work as an AI researcher to explain core AI concepts, illustrate how it shapes our everyday lives, and illuminate the good, bad, and ugly sides of AI. Recommend to anyone who wants a fun and approachable AI primer.

Hmm ok someone else had this problem. You should be able to add a review even if it’s never been added to ReadCast. I’ll look into it!

@polluterofminds fyi — this title isn’t in @readcast so i couldn’t submit a review directly from the app

I like reading books. www.paperclypse.com

Right on hope you enjoy it! Tbh your Galatea 2.2 recommendation over the summer played a big role in me going down this AI rabbit hole so thanks again for that :)

I’m an AI newbie but I’ve been reading a lot of intro-ish AI books and still found a lot of the material relevant and helpful - eg how General Adversarial Networks (GANs) work

I read this a few years ago and loved it, but have wondered if it would now seem outdated. Glad to hear it didn’t.

It is a fun read, especially if you’re interested in learning in about AI but don’t have much context. Shane knows the subject matter and is a great writer. She also blogs on AI Weirdness
