I blanche and baulk at ‘AI Consultant’ or any such nomenclature as AI is a case in point for Uncle Bob’s dictum that if you think you know what’s going on you’re probably full of shit – Ironically one of the few certainties of AI is, despite having staggering general predictive capabilities, it’s utterly and absolutely useless at predicting its own future (who, even two years ago would have imagined it would be art and creativity at the forefront of the AI donnybrooking when all the money was on hard science and math?). Thus every job title associated with it is increasingly a placeholder on an ever emergent evolving map that simply marks where we are with increasing irrelevance to where we’re heading. – Vincent Murphy
The Electric Monk was also a character in Douglas Adams’ Dirk Gently series.
