Which is why some of us avoid calling these systems "AI".
Yes, the term has become accepted, but it's a horribly irresponsible label because it massively misleads laypeople about how these systems work and how trustworthy they are.
- gentleman11 6y agoWhat’s a better catch all term? Data modelling system? Prediction system?
- Reelin 6y ago... machine learning? Technically AI is correct, since AI doesn't necessarily refer to human level AGI. Unfortunately it's highly misleading because that distinction seems to be lost on the average person. Machine learning doesn't seem to carry the same science fiction implications for whatever reason.
- joveian 6y agoI wouldn't say "has become" since the term was already in widspread use in games by the early 90s at least if not earlier. I would guess many people are first exposed to the term in games and I would be surprised if the expectation you describe is actually widespread at all. Games or not, it seems like the first exposure anyone has to anything called AI would cure them of any such misconceptions.
- NateEag 6y agoI meant it had become widespread in describing ML / DL systems, specifically.
