One can only hope that it wont be yet another hyper inflated bubble like ai is now.

[ganeshkrishnan]

Ai is hardly hyper inflated. Everything from your phone to cars to planes use ai and machine learning one way or the other.

[lcnmrn]

But it's not actually AI, it's just programmable probability.

[wrinkl3]

Which is what modern AI is - neat linear algebra that can perform certain tasks that are commonly associated with human cognition.

How and when did this become the definition of AI? I feel like we techies lost an important distinction by simply accepting the marketing appropriation of the term. What do we now call real AI?

[shpeedy]

It was that way from very beginning. It's Artificial _Intelligence_ , not an Artificial Human.

[bufferoverflow]

So is your brain. But it's not even yet programmable.

[cscurmudgeon]

The brain is not programmable?

[sudosysgen]

It really depends on your definition of programmable, I can see how it could be argued both ways.

[Ace17]

It's only programmable in the Matrix movie.

Today's real world requires you to practice before saying "I know kung fu".

[apta]

This is a simplistic, incorrect view of biology.

[GolDDranks]

Well, we happen to call that AI nowadays.
