AI is a common topic of conversation, but I've started wondering about what it actually is. I found an interesting article:
https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/artificial-intelligence/what-is-artificial-intelligence-ai/
The article states "Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a technology that enables machines and computers to perform tasks that typically require human intelligence."
And that it "Simulates human intelligence through learning and reasoning"
Is simulating intelligence actually intelligence?
Also, can it ever "think outside the box"? For example, I recently moved into a new flat with a very small bathroom, and nowhere to hang towels. There is only a small space next to the sink and a towel rail will not fit. So I bought a coat stand - an upright pole on a stand with 6 hooks around it - on which towels can be hung, and it solved the problem. Could an AI have thought of this?
