>I define AI as software that you "train" rather than "program".

I like this definition. It covers things that are AI but not ML, like DSS / rules engines. I've built two fairly sophisticated DSS before but haven't messed with ML much. It seems interesting, but I haven't had the time.

Eliza is the first AI program I came in contact with on the Commodore. It was built in the 60s.

AI is a very broad subject and ML is just a particular (promising) technique to perform AI.
