Hey Gran, look what I made at school today! It uses ML...
I'm tired of you youngsters using slang; now what's ML supposed to mean, my lullaby?
After a fit of laughter No, it is machine learning. I can make my phone understand what number I drew! Look, if I make a 3 on the screen, it says I made a three. Even when I make it weird looking, it gets it.
Good lord, my fears are coming to life, carry me before the machines take over us! Sonny, what you're making is going to kill us all.
Ah grandma, it's just recognising my handwriting... I'll tell you what's happening.
This code that I have written reads the image I draw. It arranges everything nicely in a grid of 1s and 0s. For all the black colours a zero, for the white colours a one. Then after some math, it tells me what I drew.
You see, the math is the important part over here. If you get it right, we can do wonderful things. But that is the main part, but it is complicated. We are yet to understand it's language. It is like Ma talking in French, I don't understand it. But if I can get the dictionary, I can translate it.
Similarly, we can use some equations to make the code do stuff. But it is a foreign language that we have to translate. The thing is, we have just begun here. We are still creating the dictionary that will help us understand that language of 1s and 0s.
So it's gonna take a while to have the robot apocalypse.
That's better, at least I can make my cookies in peace!
