Karandeep Singh / Android Authority AI is embedding itself into every nook of our digital lives faster than Elon Musk can type his next obnoxious tweet. First, it was an app that could talk to you in a natural voice. Then it spread to everyday voice assistants. And now, it’s coming — strong-armed — for our main work app: web browsers.

Earlier this year I saw a Tech Ingredients episode where a laser gimbal automatically tracks drones and shoots them down.

Soon after I was researching the underlying electronics and how to experiment upon their concepts. The most obvious microcontroller to drive these would be a

AI Does Something Subtly Bizarre If You Make Typos While Talking to It

New research suggests that medical AI chatbots are woefully unreliable at understanding how people actually communicate their health problems. As detailed in yet-to-be-peer-reviewed study presented last month by MIT researchers, an AI chatbot is more likely to advise a patient not to seek medical care if their messages contained typos. The errors AI is susceptible to can be as seemingly inconsequential as an extra space between words, or if the patient used slang or colorful language. And strik
