But now you're describing machine learning, which many people would describe as "applied statistics, not AI".
>And we do know the process, but the outcome is still unpredictable.
Unpredictable because you don't understand the statistics or unpredictable because of the size of the computation being done? Neither of those indicate "AI". Or maybe unpredictable because a relatively simple algorithm unexpectedly gives rise to good results? Then we're back to the roomba that just randomly moves until it bumps into something being AI.
There's no good definition for AI. It's like superfood. You can argue that it means high in antioxidants or high in fiber or probiotic, but at the end of the day, it's the marketing departments that determine the definition.
