Comment on If AI was going to advance exponentially I'd of expected it to take off by now.

What was covered? That functions are used to describe data sets?

In algebra? The basic properties of exponential functions, for one.

Let’s start there then. What are the basic properties of exponential functions?

They grow proportionately to ax^n . Correspondingly, for values of x < 1, they look very similar to a simple library slope. For values of x > 1, they grow very rapidly. Both portions are part of the function, it doesn’t suddenly “become” exponential at the rapid increase, it’s exponential the whole time.
