Artificial intelligence : the future of human technology

 Artificial intelligence (AI) is a set of technologies that enable computers to perform a variety of advanced functions, including the ability to see, understand and translate spoken and written language, analyze data, make recommendations, and more.

Artificial intelligence (AI), in its broadest sense, is intelligence exhibited by machines, particularly computer systems. It is a field of research in computer science that develops and studies methods and software that enable machines to perceive their environment and use learning and intelligence to take actions that maximize their chances of achieving defined goals. Such machines may be called AIs.

High-profile applications of AI include advanced web search engines (e.g., Google Search); recommendation systems (used by YouTubeAmazon, and Netflix); virtual assistants (e.g., Google AssistantSiri, and Alexa); autonomous vehicles (e.g., Waymo); generative and creative tools (e.g., ChatGPT and AI art); and superhuman play and analysis in strategy games (e.g., chess and Go). However, many AI applications are not perceived as AI: "A lot of cutting edge AI has filtered into general applications, often without being called AI because once something becomes useful enough and common enough it's not labeled AI anymore.

The four types of artificial intelligence (AI) are reactive, limited memory, theory of mind, and self-aware. 
Reactive AI 
  • The most basic type of AI
  • Reacts to existing conditions
  • Can respond to immediate requests and tasks
  • Can't store memory, learn from past experiences, or improve functionality
  • Useful for basic autonomous functions, such as filtering spam or recommending items
Limited memory 
  • A type of AI that exists under the narrow AI umbrella
Theory of mind 
  • A type of AI that has yet to be achieved and exists only as a concept or theory
Self-aware 
  • A type of AI that has yet to be achieved and exists only as a concept or theory
Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) 
  • A more advanced form of AI that can learn, think, and carry out a vast array of tasks
  • The objective is to create machines that can execute multifaceted duties and serve as lifelike assistants to people

My engagement vow

I would like to share my engagement experience with you all, believe me nothing was really easy.. even the speech which I have to deliver..
Here it goes.... 

On this occasion, I want to thank you all for sharing the day with us and making this the most memorable event of our life. I heartily appreciate the effort of everyone who helped us to make the wedding happen. I'd especially like to thank Mama ji … I would like to thank Preeti…. who has been there every step of the way, from the wedding dress shop to the hairdressers, offering advice and support. Please accept these flowers in thanks for everything you’ve done.
I want to thank our both parents for taking such good care and loving us so much. I have learnt a lot from them, I have never seen such a simple, generous and humble man, my DAD. My dad in Law, a man of integrity, A complete family man shows us how good a family is kept.
My wife (I love saying that!) would not be the person she is without the love and support of her parents, and I want to thank them for helping her to be her and for welcoming me into their family. As my  mother-in-law said, she is not losing a daughter but gaining a new son. I just want to reassure them that I love Laxmi and will do everything in my power to make her as happy for the rest of her life as I know she is today.”

I want to tell something of the day back, we met for very first time, 13th August,  Raksha Bandhan for rest of the world but we were budding up in different terms and those circumstances grew into the relationship that we have now. I was floored to see the simplicity and composure in her and was not pretty sure myself of being liked.
I am immensely in love with her from the 1st day we spoke. Since then we have carried it forward. I respect the patience she showed to understand me and my family.
She is the most beautiful, the kindest, and the loveliest person that I could ever have met.
She posses all  what I liked to have, with exemption of expertise in cooking and I am ready to bear with that but request you all not to come empty stomach to my place till she learnJ
I don’t know, how much I understand this marriage institution but I wish few values which are important for me to be in a marriage are mutual respect, a sense of humor and loyalty in bad times, willingness to give more than you get, honesty in all things, taking pleasure in the other person's successes, being willing to admit that you're wrong, being willing to be the first person to say "I'm sorry"… and I hope that I will be everything she could ever hope for in a husband.
On this day when everyone of family is here,  one person who is always with us, My Grand Parents. I have always felt and sure they are with everyone of us in our Heart. They are here to bless us and I want to promise them  that “we will make it as grand as they ever wished”.

Laxmi, you are a beautiful & lovely bride and I know that you are just as beautiful on the inside. I want to thanks for patience and understanding towards me. Now, I just want to say, in front of our friends and family that I love you and hope that every day will be as happy as today – just not as expensive.

May she share everything with Me, including the housework
Toast to the Guest- “May you always be as happy as I am today"

Luxury living - work from Home

Mumbai 27 Day of June, 12:49PM
Have lot of this and that running in my head and its intense urge to bring them all in this Pad to empty the turbulence within. Its been three weeks in stretch since I have been working from home and now its taking a toll on me, I have been literally living on Porn on lonely days and rest is taken by the stupid work I am indulge with.
Woke up much too early than ever wished to, although I had good shots of RC last night to get me horizontal.
It’s such a beautiful day out there, the best time you can have in Mumbai - Pre monsoon and the only other will be Post monsoon. It’s like a cold day in the sun, can smell of some occasional sprinkle of rain lately. Wind so gusty, can fly off without being parachuted of course if you are little low on your BMI and don’t have that pompous ass as Mumbaikars.  
Well, its not getting any good of staying closet and work, it takes even more if you have to work form home and when you know, have to sit on your crotch all day. It felt like living the day the whole world went away.
Though it’s not any better to sit in office too but you will certainly have people to people talk to share this loss.  Since three weeks I have been much or less around my compound, not been too far to a place which can’t be seen form my balcony. No beach no mountain to enjoy this change in ambience.
I can feel deep inside, it is much joyous then ever before  and wants to bring it out in acts but lack of company and opportunity keeps me restrict inside four walls. In week days even if you were out, Bandstand, Bandra Reclamation, juhu, chowpatty beach will look like getting no attraction from anywhere. The Mumbai city lives on its street, once you get stampede and pushed it makes you feel accepted and bring meaning of feasting in commercial and entertainment capital of India.
Being at home  the only thing you will see talking or making noise is your owned TV, for long I observed, those who will be out for work will feel missing this but once they are with it, get bored much too soon, in India Broadcaster really makes it suit to call Idiot box.
I get all the times for things I love to do and did too much of them browsing, reading, cooking, sleeping and I have made them least important to do now.
This lifestyle of mine makes me stronger to party hard and shop till I drop on weekend.  In brief if I can put how I am enjoying my stay at Mumbai. Here it is-
“I drink it when I’m happy and when I’m sad. Sometimes, I drink it when I’m alone. When I have company I consider it obligatory. I trifle with it if I’m not hungry and drink it if I am; otherwise I never touch it – unless I’m thirsty.”
Have a great weekend!
