This is so right. Using a term "artificial intelligence" for machine learning is like using "artificial horses" to describe cars. It is even worse, since we cannot even define what "natural intelligence" actually is. Stop talking about "artificial intelligence".

The rear is decorated with a lotus flower design finished in gold leaf, an ancient symbol for divine wisdom. Apart from the normal lights, there are electric bulbs in the swan’s eyes that glow eerily in the dark. The car has an exhaust-driven, eight-tone Gabriel horn that can be operated by means of a keyboard at the back of the car. A ship’s telegraph was used to issue commands to the driver. Brushes were fitted to sweep off the elephant dung collected by the tyres. The swan’s beak is linked to the engine’s cooling system and opens wide to allow the driver to spray steam to clear a passage in the streets. Whitewash could be dumped onto the road through a valve at the back of the car to make the swan appear even more lifelike. >The car caused panic and chaos in the streets on its first outing and the police had to intervene.
