Everyone reading here knows there is no 'AI' but are happy to peddle or sit back and watch as pattern matching used to identify nudity is wildly hyped up as 'AI'. This is the same kind of fraud as Theranos was guilty of.
There is nothing in the current programming paradigm to create an 'AI' as the 'world understands the term' but individuals and groups blinded by profit and greed are 'growth hacking' redefining and blurring the meaning of words to suit their commercial agendas.
The technical community at large would come out against this kind of widespread misinformation and abuse but they don't as everyone is looking for a gig, job, contract or more ominously some 'illusory power'. But that doesn't make it any less abusive of discourse.
How can we make an AI when we don't even understand human intelligence properly. What in current programming language allows you to create anything that can 'think' and make decisions. How is processing data and matching patterns 'thinking' or AI is any way or form? A culture of hubris is seeing programmers constantly engaged in hype and overestimating their tools while underestimating basic human intelligence required for even mundane tasks like driving.
But once you redefine and twist words they lose all meaning for communication and in the end you lose all credibility, but this seems to be a gold rush and as long as some have made money on the way who cares. If AI happens it will be from decades of hard research in the scientific community like how all breakthroughs happen, not in the trade.
