Not Artificial, Not Intelligent: What AI Companies Don't Want You to Know

By Django Beatty

The AI debate is full of noise. This book cuts through it.
Hype merchants promise artificial minds. Doomers warn of extinction. Both miss the point.

Not Artificial, Not Intelligent shows how today's AI really works - as giant statistical mirrors, not thinking machines - and why that matters more than any sci-fi fantasy. It's not about intelligence. It's about power, infrastructure, and how machine learning is quietly reshaping everything from business to culture.

Written for curious, critical readers - from technologists to execs to policy thinkers - this book dismantles the myths, explains the mechanics, and explores what AI means now, not in some imaginary future.

Whether you're sick of breathless headlines or trying to make sense of the real risks and rewards, this book gives you a clearer lens.

Inside: why the AI bubble isn't a bubble, how pigeons and pachinko machines explain your frustration, and why music festivals, baseball bats, and childhood all matter for the future of AI.
