AI Unplugged: The Hype, The Brain and The Business Boom!
They say technology is evolving faster than my attempts to get in shape — and honestly, they’re not wrong! Ever since ChatGPT hit the stage, the buzz around AI (Artificial Intelligence) has skyrocketed. From writing emails to suggesting recipes, AI is now everywhere — and no, it’s not just here to steal your job or predict when your crush will text back. 😉
But what is AI, really? Let me break it down in a way you’ll never forget
AI and the Human Brain: Twins Separated at Birth?

Think back to your childhood. Remember how you started recognizing faces, understanding languages, or learning to solve problems? You weren’t born knowing everything — instead, your brain learned from experience.
Every time you tried something new, your brain formed connections — strengthening them when you succeeded and adjusting when you made mistakes. Over time, you started responding better to different situations because your brain adapted to patterns.
AI works the same way!

Imagine AI as a digital brain that learns through data. Just like a child who gets better at math by practicing sums, AI models improve by being trained on tons of information. These “digital brains” are fed data, learn from it and gradually become smarter at responding to prompts or making decisions.That’s called learning from data.
It observes patterns, absorbs data and gradually becomes smarter. The more data it’s fed, the better its responses — just like how your brain sharpens skills with practice.
For instance, when you ask ChatGPT to tell a joke, it doesn’t invent the joke — instead, it pulls from the countless jokes it has learned through training data. Pretty cool, right?
Types of AI: Breaking Down the Tech Jungle
AI isn’t just one big robot — it’s like a family reunion with different personalities. Let’s meet the members:
- Narrow AI (a.k.a. Specialist AI)
This is the “one-trick pony” of AI. It’s designed to do specific tasks really well but nothing beyond that.
✅ Spotify recommending songs you secretly vibe to.
✅ Google Maps guiding you to your destination (even if you still miss that one turn).
✅ Siri/Alexa — great at setting alarms but still struggles with your cousin’s weird name.
Narrow AI is like that friend who’s an absolute pro at cricket but panics when asked to cook Maggi.
- General AI (a.k.a. The Future Genius)
This is the dream — an AI that’s as flexible as a human brain. Imagine an AI that can:
✅ Drive you to work
✅ Crack jokes about your boss
✅ Write Bollywood-style poetry
✅ Cook Maggi perfectly (unlike that Narrow AI guy 😉)
Unfortunately, General AI is still under development — but it’s the ultimate goal of AI researchers.
- Super AI (a.k.a. The Sci-Fi Superstar)
This is the point where AI surpasses human intelligence. Think Jarvis from Iron Man or Skynet from Terminator (minus the world domination part, hopefully).
Right now, Super AI is just a concept — but if it happens, we might need to start being extra nice to our Roombas.
