Abstract
Artificial intelligence (AI) has been one of the most contested and controversial topics since its inception in 1955. With recent advances such as OpenAI¡¯s ChatGPT or the open use of AI in warfare, it is worth understanding how this term has travelled from scientific labs to science fiction and back. It is a story full of drama and discord among scientists who compete for money and fame using the immense power of human language. AI¡¯s history is one full of hype and disillusionment cycles and this talk will give you all that is needed about AI before anyone tries to AI-splain you things again.
