Hour of Code | Dance Party: AI Edition - How AI works

How do you think AI works? Can it read your mind? Is it magic? Is it randomly guessing? Actually, AI knows quite a lot! AI looks at billions of data points and finds associations between words. With some simple math concepts, applied billions of times, it calculates the strength between those associations.

Then, AI uses what it learned in order to make decisions on what to generate for you. My team uses AI to look for associations between songs and artists to make sure Amazon Music is recommending the best next song.

Sometimes those decisions aren't the same ones you would make because AI is making associations based on billions of data points. Imagine a sunset. What color do you see? If you asked this question to billions of people, you would get many different answers.

When you choose your three emojis, A.I. might generate effects that are not quite what you imagined.

You have a few options! The first thing you can do is regenerate the effects based on the same emojis you already chose.

You can also customize the effects A.I. bot generated by clicking the 'Use code' button. This will give you two new code blocks in your workspace.

Last, you can click 'Start over' to choose a new set of emojis. You can work with A.I. to create the perfect effect. What customizations will you make?
