It is easy to think something is intelligent when it speaks fluently. If we only look for fluent language, we may miss other forms of intelligence.
Some types of AI do not use language. Let's look at one of them.
This type of AI is among the oldest - all the way from the 1970s!
Back then, computers were tiny thinkers compared to now.
They could not store much data, so apps were much simpler.
Rule-based AI is like a very careful rule-follower. It checks its instructions and then makes a choice.
This is one way machine learning can work. It learns from examples and then tries to spot patterns in new pictures.
Recently, a new kind of AI has become popular: the large language model. It can do more than recognise things in pictures - it can talk to you too.
