Is A.I. Actually a Bubble?

Key Highlights

• Claude proposed trying to recreate Pong in Scratch, a coding environment for kids.
• We downloaded it, and I sat in an armchair, with ChatGPT on my iPad, while Peter gave the project a shot on the computer.
• Whenever he got stuck, I answered his questions, drawing either on my own programming knowledge or on A. I.
• He finished a rudimentary version of the game in about an hour. In the following weeks, with further help from me and A. I., Peter made a game based on the light-cycle duels in the movie “Tron,” complete with music and a score-keeping system.
• He sketched the beginnings of a “library simulator,” and finished his own arcade game, Dot in Space, about a tiny spaceship travelling at warp speed.
