Artificial, yes; Intelligent, no.

When ChatGPT arrived on the scene, it sparked an immediate reaction from the world--not just the computing world, but the larger world in which we all live, eat, and breathe--that set the course of the zeitgeist for the next decade. "Revolutionary!" they claimed, even going so far as to promise that "Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) is just around the corner!" In this keynote, we're going to tear away the veil of hype, quiet the hysteria, and explore precisely what it is that this round of AI can--and more importantly, can't--do. But, more than that, we'll examine the one cycle that our industry, rain or shine, adheres to like clockwork.

Ted Neward is sometimes referred to as "The Dude of Software", owing to both his remarkable (some say frightening) resemblance to the Jeff Bridges character from "The Big Lebowski", and his ordination as a Dudeist Minister of the Church of the Latter-Day Dude. But, he's also been called the "Dr. Gregory House of Software", owing to his tendency to insult people (who of course deserved it!) and pull no punches when talking about software and how to deliver it successfully. In truth, he's comfortable answering to either name or title, as well as a few others less work-friendly. He knows more programming languages than most people knew existed, and hasn't found one yet that he couldn't turn into a 'mission-critical' application when asked. He currently resides in the Pacific Northwest with his wife, two cats, twelve laptops, seven tablets, nine phones, and a rather large utility bill, and longs for the day when he can hook up panels that convert rain into electricity--like solar, but rain.
