The war of annihilation

I started this war of annihilation! Rest assured I started...

IBM Watson and Google - my creations as the first step to total destruction of SQL and the total domination of AI.

AI database is definitely not SQL from a purely formal aspect:

- AI database uses constructed patterns (which did not exist before), and SQL - only existed;

- AI works with pattern sets, SQL does not;

- AI uses thesauruses and SQL does not;

- AI works with a regular dictionary and SQL does not;

- AI uses no tables, columns and rows, while SQL does.

More broadly, it is the war between two Philosophical schools, where one emerged from ancient Greek polytheism and the other from Biblical monotheism.

- The AI database is a differential (conversational) system where there are only opinions as sets of patterns, with a limit in knowledge as in one pattern; while SQL takes knowledge as actually existing and operates with single patterns.

That's why Larry E wrote so much nonsense selling his SQL: he tries to operate on many knowledgeS, even though it's only one. (The words "Alice" and "nail" are the same unless they are included in the phrases.)
