I really thought Richard Lewis had 10 more years left to live. Even after four back surgeries and a Parkinson’s diagnosis, my friend and fellow comedian of 51 years was still so vibrant and full of life I never expected Wednesday’s news “from hell.” How many comedians actually impact the lexicon and become part of people’s everyday language?

Throughout the decades, we have progressively seen its usage in machine learning, analytics, big data, deep learning methods, and eventually in large language models.

Artificial intelligence has come up in a big way this year.
