    You learned it via a computer. But a human was the one who told you the information. So that’s really not different from getting it from a book.

      I don’t think people in the 80s and 90s meant anything else. It’s not like AI was really on the horizon. Educational interactive CD-ROMs were where everyone’s head was at in the 90s.

        AGI (or just AI back then) was “10 years away” for decades.
