Written for fellow engineers who once dismissed AI as a boring theory subject and are now furiously Googling it 20 years later.
ChatGPT came along and blew everyone's mind, and suddenly your grandma is asking if robots are taking over and your boss is saying "we need to leverage AI" without knowing what that means.
Back in the late '90s, when we were studying Computer Engineering, we did have a subject called Artificial Intelligence. But it was all theory and no practical labs, so we didn't take it very seriously. Not because it lacked practicals, but because we thought, "After all, it's artificial." 😄
We assumed we wouldn't have to bother with it once we graduated.
But here we are, nearly 20 years later. The Intelligence no longer seems artificial it has suddenly become more real than the real world. And this time, we definitely cannot ignore it.
