> I wouldn't call them AI - they're neither knowledge-based systems nor neural networks. Out of curiosity, why are you drawing the AI line at neural networks? Neural networks are just function approximators; there's nothing magical about them except they work really well on problems we're interested in. Would you really not consider an SVM or a Naive Bayes classifier "AI" since they don't use a very rough, very loose analogy to the brain?
