And I wish more people would call it what it really is: optimization(regression) & statistics. The sooner the buzzword "AI / ML" dies, the earlier we can shift the wrongly allocated investment to more promising things, (just as blockchain caused all the weird money flow in one direction). Unlike the blockchain, "AI" brigade seems to just have too many people that benefit from keeping it over-hyped so I guess it won't come soon enough.
