The term "Artificial Intelligence" is not new, especially for a simracer. We often practice or just have fun by "racing against the AI".
Outside our hobby you have surely read (about) books or seen movies where AI plays a role, sometimes even as the protagonist or antagonist of the story itself. HAL, C3PO, The MCP, Replicants, Terminators, Data, Chappy, Cortana, Jarvis... you get the idea. Man-made constructs that behave and speak like people. But AI is not science fiction anymore, it has not been for a while actually. However, it has just recently entered a new phase where chatbots (a digital entity that can simulate textual conversations) use complex language models, large databases of information and reinforcement (machine) learning techniques to recreate responses on queries that simulate those of (well informed) human beings. In simple words: they respond to questions the way a person would.
