I don't really agree, and think the misnomer should be applied in the opposite direction: AI should be called 'adaptive algorithms' and it should be just another tool the box of CS people.
We're not doing anything that we were not before.
There is no new paradigm shift. There is no AI. There's just a slightly new approach to solving problems. That's it. There's somer really nice improvements in computer vision ... and a few other things ...
... but all this talk of 'intelligence' etc. should be brushed aside, it's misleading to everyone.
There will be no 'general AI' with our current approaches for a whole variety of reasons.
I'm embarrassed at how so many intelligent colleagues drink the kool-aid on this.
Take classical ML: it was hyped for a while, now it's not as exciting as 'Deep Learning'. Well, in few years, I think that DL will be there as well: just a tool in the toolbox.
