What I mean by this is - I don't see how anyone could reasonably call a Random Forest "AI" with a straight face, whereas someone could (wrongly, but understandably) call a CNN / RNN / etc. AI if only because it has the word "neural" in it.

There's two groups:

- People who are overly enthusiastic about neural nets

- People who are cynically calling every ML algorithm "AI", up to and including linear regression

and I'm more annoyed at the last one.

To anyone non-technical, a decision is AI. 99% of the world is non-technical so its probably only going to continue to be this way.
