That's the AI effect.

- wgjordan 7y ago> That's the AI effect. Indeed- as that coined term suggests, "AI" has such a philosophically-tied definition with moving goalposts, that in practice it gets slapped far too liberally on anything 'magical' having to do with computation. (As long as it's still trendy to do so, at least.) 'Machine Learning' is at least a little more specific of a term (if still rather general).
- 6gvONxR4sf7o 7y agoPeople point at this all the time, but there's also another AI effect. People use traditional techniques to solve modern problems and label it "AI." Calling it a traditional technique despite the modern application doesn't mean it's moving the goalposts.
