Some colleagues of mine talk about the prevalence of companies doing this man behind the curtain thing all the time while claiming that there solution is AI/cognitive. When we come across examples of this happening we just refer to that Seinfeld Moviefone episode and say 'Why don't you just tell me [foo]' - or whatever the "AI" is trying to solve. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gSQ6q_rGpI8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gSQ6q_rGpI8 It never fails to get a good laugh. Anyway, I think that human interaction for the training aspects of AI to prepare data, label examples, test models, etc. is really hard to automate entirely and should be considered part of the development process. The execution side of an application component that is marketed as AI/cognitive however is not true AI unless it is totally free of human interaction.
