"The machines, created by American Rounds, offer ammo to be purchased without engaging with a store clerk. They “are accessible 24/7, ensuring that you can buy ammunition on your own schedule, free from the constraints of store hours and long lines,” according to the company’s website. The company states that the machines are equipped with “the latest AI technology” with card-scanning and facial-recognition software to verify the identity and age of each buyer. "

“Our labor is what makes AI work, and it could not function without us. We are the data that makes the machine work.”
The neural networks used in machine learning are loosely based on how the human brain works. As if the human brain was the only intelligence worth using to think up technologies.
I'm building an #AI with a linked database structure based on a lichen's symbiotic being. Why? Who knows...I guess I just want to try. I like the possibility of magic.
