Definitions:
AI - Artificial Intelligence
AIO (pronounced I-O) - Artificially Intelligent Object
AiYo (pronounced Iyy-O) - A typical sound of exclamation that is original and native to Tamil speakers in India that expresses disappointment and frustration. It is a sound of my native place.
AiYaYo (pronounced Iyy-Ya-Yoh!) - A typical sound of exclamation that is original and native to Tamil speakers in India that expresses extreme disappointment or frustrationt that is beyond bounds of reasonable-ness.
As you can note from the title, there is a natural progression from AI to AiYaYo. I had this epiphany as I started to explore the new features of Windows 10, Office 365 and other new software that is supposedly 'infused with AI" as Satya Nadella is wont to point out often in public statements. I am all for 'infusing intelligence' - artificial or natural into systems - living or software. The current state of affairs is best reflected in the title of this post.
Ultimately, one has to try and get to speak to a human with reasonable intelligence with sympathy and empathy for the user to accomplish a task. This will be the foreseeable future until the designers behind all the AI really get the following:
"Design everything keeping mind the user's mindset when interacting with the system in any particular situation - what they are trying to get done, what in their mind needs to be the model of the system, what kind of rational expectation they can have and how the system can live up to it.
A bug in software is not just a failure of the code - a better definition is "Anything that violates the rational expectation of a reasonable user is a bug."
