  There's a similar saying I like (don't know where it's from, if anywhere) "Artificial intelligence is a group of problems that we don't know how to solve. As soon as we know how to solve one, it gets a name and is no longer AI."

    People say the same thing about philosophy. That once something is well-understood, it becomes a science rather than philosophy. I suppose this could be the same thing.

    > it gets a name and is no longer AI And that name is typically "weak AI". I wonder if we'll ever have AI that we marvel at even after we figure out how it works.
