   A woman I met at a family event recently asked me what I thought of AI.   
   I started talking about Leibniz and his speculations, Charles Babbage's   
   Differential Engine, Isaac Asimov's robot books. Well, she let me have   
   the limelight; thank you.   
   Later I found out that what she had in mind was ChatGPT and OpenAI. It's   
   amazed millions, created a rush of books (including ChatGPT for   
   Dummies), and fuelled a whole new debate. "AI" has replaced   
   "algorithms", which replaced "apps", which replaced "programs".
