My neighbor's kid asked me if his toy robot was smarter than our new AI assistant
I was helping him with a school project about machines, and he pointed to his little plastic robot and said, 'This one can walk, but the one in your house just talks. Which one is more smart?' It made me stop and think about how we define intelligence in technology. What's a simple way you've had to explain a complex AI concept to someone?

Oh man, that's a good question from a kid. I usually just say the talking one knows a lot of facts, but the walking one knows how to not fall over. It's different kinds of smart, I guess.

Exactly. It's like book smarts versus street smarts, but for robots.
