[dba-Tech] Ai and Robotix

I use Wikipedia often in my searches. On certain topics, I trust the
authors.
Ai and Robotics would definitely be in that list of topics because I can
verify the quality of the information.

It is worthy of note that America's "founding fathers" would 
likely currently qualify for the epithet of wing-nut or radical.

That is as it should be. 

Wikipedia should be topical but it is not just an opinion magazine of
current events and editorials or a soap box for wing-nuts and radicals. ;-)

While Wikipedia is a Igood initial source of information and links on the
basics of non-controversial subjects, it is severely polluted by
"gatekeepers" on any subject over which there is a degree of controversy.

Wikipedia can never be a "trusted" source.
