Thank you. More importantly, this is not new. Sheesh, how much of AI is just hype. I am in favor in not using the term AI for such things.

- baq 6y ago> John McCarthy, the Father of AI, famously said: "As soon as it works, no one calls it AI any more." Leading researcher Rodney Brooks says "Every time we figure out a piece of it, it stops being magical; we say, 'Oh, that's just a computation.

- Barrin92 6y agothis is an extremely overused fortune-cookie like quote. There's a legitimate distinction to be made between intelligence on one hand, and simply computation or calculation on the other. If we start calling every numerical method AI we're rendering the term meaningless.
- glial 6y agoWhat’s the distinction?
- Barrin92 6y agoIn the most basic sense intelligence involves the aqcuisition of knowledge, which is representation or generalisation at some higher level of abstraction and the ability to make decisions. The mere ability to perform computational work is something virtually even the tiniest piece of hardware entails, or even an abacus for that matter.
- LoSboccacc 6y agointelligence is inductive finding correlations and using a human to filter the interesting ones from the flukes doesn't make the correlations engine an ai, the intelligence is still in the human
- xvilka 6y agoNone of existing AI, ML, DL, RL algorithms is intelligence either.
