i find all of this rather extraordinary:

#MaryShelley created "#Frankenstein," the seminal work about humanity creating artificial life, in a ghost story writing contest suggested by #LordByron, who was the father of #AdaLovelace, who predicted #AI- humanity creating an artificial mind

something to think about this #womensHiistoryMonth

an interesting connection:

it was #LordByron who proposed the #ghostStory #writingContest that led to #MaryShelley writing "#Frankenstein", and he was the father of another #womensHistoryMonth notable: #AdaLovelace

her story is well known, but less well known is that she predicted #AI

she rejected it

her rejection was not without teeth, because the first non-#scienceFiction champion of AI, #AlanTuring, spent an inordinate amount of time refuting her critique
