Those amazing examples you provide are not AI. They are simply pattern recognition, no more impressive than a computer's ability to respond to keyboard input.
If I type cnn.com into a browser, and it pulls up the website, that's, to you, AI.
Search is a database look-up on steroids. Computer behaviour that is hard to grasp at the surface is not AI.
Siri is simple. It's voice-to-text conversion and the text is used as search criteria. Some of the more common phrases are programmed like, "Siri, where am I?"
That voice-to-text is entered into a search engine just like we normally do and predictable things happen.
Siri then reverses the operation by performing text-to-speech conversion.
It's slicker'n mocking bird shit on a sycamore limb, but it's dang sure not even close to AI.
Let's say your mom clicks on a malicious link. Let's say it's a drive-by. You know what that is. The computer can know, too.
Let's say that the computer mentally installs it and the computer predicts the consequences, kinda like looking ahead 1,000 moves ahead in a chess game.
Then, let's pretend that the computer knows that the intention of the operation is to load a keylogger, or it wants to make her computer a node in a botnet, or it wants to communicate with command and controllers "out there,"... or any other activity which YOU know is harmful.
If YOU know it's harmful, the computer can know as well.
That's the future. I'm very surprised it hasn't arrived way before now.
However, you didn't answer the first question: What is it you are going to do to your mom's computer that you can't get a computer to do for itself?
Granting that students have been exposed to math, let's now take advantage of the research tools at hand and contemplate how well Arkansas is doing in math, shall we?

... home computer, too.
You know ... we have these neat research servers to help you with that.

It's not.
Reach much?

Citation, please.
Not necessarily ...
While it has long been thought that exercise diminishes appetite, this is not a universal truth. Some individuals find that hard exercise can increase their appetite. Scientists have confirmed that some people have an increased level of appetite hormones that drives eating after exercise.
Clean up is a little more time consuming ...
So it has the added benefit of exercise.
Well played.
Yeah, once you get the trick of it.
Until that never happens, you're stuck with vacuous examples like visual processing and speech recognition.
Using that criteria, keyboard recognition is AI.
Working out is beneficial for muscle toning and strengthening the heart and increasing oxygen intake, but it's not effecient at all for losing weight.
In fact, heavy exercise can have the opposite effect. Most of us work up an appetite and gorge shortly after a hard workout.
The body says, "Yo ... if you gonna be working this hard, let's get some fuel."
Weight loss is a matter of eating fewer calories. That's all.
I used to eat carbs but the goddam gasoline aftertaste was just too much.
Goddam ...
Tl;dr
It's way to fucking complicated.
Why is this modded at zero?
The answer to weight loss is consuming fewer calories.
Exercise is beneficial for reasons other than weight loss.
I can choose to walk on a treadmill for an hour and burn 140 calories or simply decline to eat two (2) slices of bread.
Leave the remark at 2, for crying out loud.
... by heating it in hot water before pressing the Brew button on your Keurig 2.0.
Cold cups suck the heat out of your Sumatra dark roast just like TFS/TFA sucks time out of your day..
... Comcast as their beta carrier.
Don't bullshit me. I grew up with this shit and I know it better than you do.
AI is AI. It's the attempt to make a machine as human-like as possible.
When we found that AI is dang near impossible, we called it other things and left AI to be something that we could, actually, maybe, perhaps, do.
AI is not doable. If it were, we would make computers that refused to work because their Facebook account had been deactivated.

Search is not AI and neither is Siri.
Do you remember the program, Eliza?
The No Child Left Behind Act of 2001, President George W. Bush's education-reform bill, was signed into law on Jan. 8, 2002.
Ummmm ... the fingerprint?
... shit is funny, I want to be in on the joke.
We need more whistle blowers.
Super powers are aiding each other and snooping on each other and throwing 'false flags' all behind our backs.
That doesn't make it easy for us to make informed decisions.
It's 'Government by the government for the government'.
Let's just do a thought experiment here, OK?
Let's say your mom clicks on a malicious link. Let's say it's a drive-by. You know what that is. The computer can know, too.
Let's say that the computer mentally installs it and the computer predicts the consequences, kinda like looking ahead 1,000 moves ahead in a chess game.

If you are in the business of selling coding educational crap, it would be to your advantage to do so in Arkansas.
Statistically, their educational system sucks.
Mediocrity won't get you any gigs.
