These days, it feels like everyone is talking about artificial intelligence (AI). Social media is bursting at the seams with how-tos, hacks, and promises of instant wealth through AI tools. There’s a “gold rush” frenzy in the air—from Lagos to London, Abuja to Austin—everyone’s scrambling for their slice of the AI pie.
But amid the noise and hype, have you ever paused to ask: What exactly is AI? Where did it come from, and more importantly, where is it taking us?
That question tugged at my curiosity, and in my search for clarity, I came across a remarkable piece by a writer named Intobus on Substack. You can read it here:

Yes, it’s a long read. But it’s worth every minute. Intobus has taken what could easily be an overwhelming, highly technical topic and transformed it into a riveting, reader-friendly narrative. It’s the kind of story that doesn’t just inform, it makes you think.
While scientists toil in labs, designing the future of AI with equations and code, we must not overlook the importance of storytellers—historians and writers who interpret these seismic shifts in ways that make sense to the rest of us. That’s what Intobus has done in this regard and brilliantly too. His or Her (gender unknown) essay is not only accessible but deeply thought-provoking.
In this era of algorithms and automation, let’s not just chase the trend. Let’s understand it. Take the time to read this piece. You’ll come away not just more informed but more inspired.
