AI is genuinely just a rebranding of "algorithms". Like I get it, it's faster and it works by feeding data instead of feeding code... but code is data, data is code etcetc...
Jim Keller said it best, about every 10 orders of magnitude in available computation the paradigm of computing shifts to a higher level of mathematical building blocks. In the beginning we had pure logic. Then came addition and subtraction, then came vectors, then came matrices, and now we're at tensors, he believes the next building block is graphs.
This is citing from memory while I'm sleep-deprived, but I think the general idea holds. Approximately every 10x increase in computation, there's a paradigm shift in what is possible.
But it's just algorithms. Always has been, and still is.
