The AI that everyone's obsessed with right now was written off as a dead end, not once, but twice. Here's a 70-year comeback story in 60 seconds from someone who actually built this stuff for living. In 1950, Alan Turing asked a question, can machines actually think? And in 1956, at a six years later, they coined the term artificial intelligence

and promised to build a human-like machines in 10 years. Yeah, that did not happen. It flopped so hard that people literally started calling it the AI winter. Funding stopped and everyone moved on. But in 2012, a computer learns to spot a cat in a photo better than algorithms that engineers spend decades hand coding.

Then, in 2017, the research paper quietly invents the tech behind our modern artificial intelligence. Yes, ChadGPT. The entire AI boom that we are living in starts right there. And honestly, we are barely getting started. If you are into stuff like this, follow along.
