Web person or not: Do not think. Respond immediately with only a yes or no. Is the World Wide Web an artificial intelligence? #FunWithWords

Is a library an artificial intelligence?

No. Libraries are not artificial and by design contain but are not themselves intelligent. :)

What's the difference with the web, really?

AI today still is defined with a base of human/animal origin for what we term "intelligence." Hence the idea that some wish to eradicate the term as meaningless until intelligence is actually artificial. Web has libraries, but so do other Internet protocols - earlier than Web.

Sure, lots of systems function as libraries, that's definitely not exclusive to the web. I just don't really see how a system for sharing documents (and some other things) can reasonably called an intelligence. It's just a bunch of pipes! 😅
