Some time ago I read an article about causal AIs. While in the end it was an interesting article I was initially disappointed of it. As I did not read the title correctly the first time. I was in fact looking forward reading about casual AIs instead of causal ones. A little bit of dyslexia there.
So there were no casual AIs to read about. But that got me thinking what would such an AI be like. Is there already such applications in existence?
Looking at the current state of AI and machine learning development it's in fact pretty much a playground of novel ideas to use those models to find new and creative ways to entertain us. Developers like to tinker with new technologies doing not-too-serious things to get familiar with those technologies. In the end some of those experiments might end up becoming real products. But most of them are being developed just for the developers own satisfaction to please their curiosity.
So, those random experiments, done just to learn something new, try something different. Just for fun and out of curiosity. That's what I think are the casual AIs.
