I mean... an "if" statement is technically AI, so investors can see the buzz word and all Google has to code is "if most engaged moment, then play ad" lol
conditional and logical expressions have been the foundation of computing since the very beginning. you are using a definition of "AI" that is completely divorced from that history.
That's not AI.
It's a computer (Artificial) making a choice that is better than random (Intelligence)
What it is not is a LLM (aka chatbot). It isn't even any type of neural network. Does not make it any less AI though
No, it's a computer making a computation. The programmer is the one using intelligence by choosing the appropriate computation for the situation at hand.
That's not what AI is, that's just programming. AI implies the software was trained on a dataset in order to make pseudo-decisions on its own about the best way to do things.
That's machine learning, AI just means artificial intelligence.
Machine learning is artificial intelligence...
Its a subset of artificial intelligence, not the only type.
Right, but basic automation is not artificial intelligence.
I wonder where we can draw the line. Its weird because the definition of AI is continuously changing, even though its two self evident words, artificial intelligence.
If we took the words at face value, I don't think we could label anything we've built AI.
And artificial intelligence is still not basic programming.
