i find all of this extraordinary:

#MaryShelley created "#Frankenstein"

the seminal work (arguably the first work of #scienceFiction)-

humanity creating artificial life

in a ghost story writing contest suggested by #LordByron

the father of #AdaLovelace

who predicted #AI (the first person to seriously address the topic)-

humanity creating an artificial mind

something to think about this #womensHistoryMonth:

the artistic and technological mothers of our age

an interesting connection:

it was #LordByron who proposed the ghost story writing contest 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

@kityates

not only was #lovelace the world's first #programmer, she was also the first #AI detractor

and i know that because the first non-#sciencefiction proponent of AI, #alanturing, cited her in his defense of/ argument for AI

#turing framed the foundational thoughts of the entire field of AI, as an argument against ada's thoughts

and she lived many decades before turing!

#adalovelace was an amazing woman

she deserves her own hollywood movie
