Right - I hate that "AI" is just being used as (at best) a replacement term for ML, and very misleading for the public who is being encouraged to believe that some general purpose AGI-like capabiity is behind things like this.

The article is so dumbed down that it's not clear if there is even any ML involved or if this is just an evaluation of combinatorial experimental setups.

I'll chalk this one up to the Russians, not "AI".

This doesn't even seem to be ML, though.
