A confluence, today, of an historic happening and how artificial intelligence (AI) is increasing our potential modes of learning.

I read an article (in between all the ads) about The Christmas Tree Boat Wreck of Chicago in 1912. Then I thought, well maybe our HSoSC fans don’t want to work their way through this piece, so I decided to try and see if AI could help.

First, here’s the article on the history, the shipwreck, and the new tradition of the Christmas Tree Boat.

Here’s AI recapping the article for you. There’s a weird little glitch in the middle where the female “narrator” reads the all caps message LOST HOPE FOR SHIP. SANTA CLAUS BOAT LOST letter by letter, but see what you think.

Christmas Past… and Christmas Future? Tell us in the comments your thoughts.
