      I used "AI" since 1978. But every few years, what used to be AI becomes   
   commonplace and stops being alled AI. Character and voice recognition, file   
   completion, symbolic manipulation (Macsyma, Wolfram), ELIZA psychanalyser,   
   were once called AI. Then again, I'm a 62yo (familially) third generation   
   computer user as well as a third generation engineer.  If you used Marvin   
   Minsky's fifty year old psychanalysis program ELIZA (available in emacs as   
   doctor; I use it for night time OCD panic attacks), ChatGPT looks awfully   
   boring. I've used fractals (EXCEL:LOGEST) for fraud detection for four   
   decades.   
      
      
      Gregory Nazianzen, the Great, tells us all creativity is divine (28:6; 1   
   cor 3:5-9) and denounced anti-science at Basil's funeral (42:11) as ignorant,   
   lazy and stupid.  (My namesake, Basil of Caereria, was a physician, who   
   invented the concept of a hospital.) This may be found on p151 of the 1977   
   OEDB Patrsitics textbook used in high schools in Greece (Evagelos Theodorou,   
   Anthology of Holy Fathers.)  More completely from Florovsky v7 p109 "We   
   derive something useful for our orthodoxy even from the worldly   
   science.. Everyone who has a mind will recognize that learning is our highest   
   good.. also worldly learning, which many Christians incorrectly abhor.. those   
   who hold such an opinion are stupid and ignorant. They want everyone to be   
   just like themselves, so that the general failing will hide their own"
