AI as a term is poorly-defined, and conjures associations that range from sorta-accurate to totally fictional. ML is a specific set of concrete technologies, so it's a better and more precise term in most contexts
- eikenberry 3y agoAI is a general term with very fuzzy meaning, much like intelligence. This is on purpose as we don't understand these things well and their definitions/usage reflect that.
- brundolf 3y agoRight, but we (humanity) understand the purpose-made ML that Apple talked about today just fine, which is why it's better not to use a fuzzy term
- eikenberry 3y agoTotally. Different terms for different use cases. They wanted to be more specific here and ML suited that better. They could have been even more specific (which would have been cool) but it would have overshot their target audience's context.
