I was talking with Max Kirby about the idea of seeing AI as a new type of fiber woven through the quilt of the tecnium.

He relayed a story about an octogenarian friend of his.

His friend doesn't own a smartphone or use technology.

When Max picked him up from the airport, Max navigated home using Google Maps on his phone.

His friend looked at the phone and asked, "Is this AI?"

Perhaps the answer isn't as straightforward as we think.
