I think it's impressive what the DeepMind team comes up with, but the inflationary use of the term Artificial Intelligence is annoying. This should be reserved to something that is truly intelligent. As long as this has not been achieved it's just simply a well trained model that results in high accuracy predictions for very narrowly defined tasks.

> This should be reserved to something that is truly intelligent No. I had to write this so many times. It's pretty clear: at some point, we decided "Engineer, if you come up with a solution we will call you intelligent, and if your algorithm does we will call it intelligent as well". There exists an interpretation of the term that makes the term sound. It's pretty clear, really - and that "intelligence [tongue-in-cheek] [of specific solvers]" is _not_ "[intellectual] Intelligence", which by the way is not even the last and highest meaning of it. It is the second time in this very page: «we call "intelligent" in this convention that which finds solutions - normally the natural intelligence of a professional, sometimes the artificial intelligence of a computerized system».
