To help explain AI to my elderly mother, I said it is like an alien intelligence on a planet too far away to directly observe Earth, and everything it knows about humanity and our world it learned from reading just about every book and website. You can ask it a question or to do some work and it can often give a useful response but it can never directly judge its accuracy if it relates to the physical world, it has only your judgment to work with.

Given that limitation, it is incredible what it can still accomplish. And when it falls short, it is often in a charming way, if you are open to seeing it that way. It reflects something like a child's understanding of the world, not entirely wrong, just incomplete.

The fluttering cubes that might have been bees or butterflies were my favorite part.
