AI is not a parlor trick.

AI is a branch of statistics. Nobody said that statistics must limit itself to quasi-linear models of numerical data. It was just a limitation of computational resources (initially "AI" was developed by human computers).

The trick is to get people not to associate the dictum "lies, damn lies and statistics" with "hallucinations, damn hallucinations and AI".

AI is not only a branch of statistics. Symbolic AI has nothing to do with stats.

[Sparkyte]

AI he referred to was of that time.
