But that's been the case for the last 60 years. Whatever came out in the last 10 years is the first thing deserving to be called AI, and everything else is just basic computer science algorithms that every practitioner should know. Eliza was AI in 1967; now it's just string substitution. Prolog was AI in 1972; now it's logic programming. Beam search and A* were AI in the 1970s; now they're just search algorithms. Expert systems were AI in the 1980s; now they're just rules engines. Handwriting recognition, voice recognition, and speech synthesis were AI in the 90s; now they're just multilayer perceptrons aka artificial neural nets. SVMs were AI in the 00s; now they're just support vector machines. CNNs and LSTMs were AI in the 10s; now they're just CNNs and LSTMs.

- HarHarVeryFunny 3y agoYeah, but for a while it seemed we'd gotten over that, and in the "modern era" people were just talking about ML. Nobody in 2012, as best I can recall, was referring to AlexNet as "AI", but then (when did it start?) at some point the media started calling everything AI, and eventually the ML community capitulated and started calling it that too - maybe because the VC's wanted to invest in sexy AI, not ML.
