Refusing to use tools "because you become dependent" has thankfully never stopped any human invention. The use of "AI" in the title is 100% appropriate. The researchers used common machine learning approaches for the identification. Putting that into the title seems to be the opposite of click bait.

We used to call it just that - ML rather then AI. It was a more appropriate name since sorting pictures is typically not much of "intelligence".

  How is that not intelligence? Also you are fine with the word "learning", but not "intelligence". I would think that learning requires intelligence. Learning arguably is a stronger word than intelligence. Also who is "we" that "used to"? Machine learning has always been part of AI. It is a field within AI. When people call it ML it is because they are being more specific, but it has always been fine to refer to it as AI.

    Minimal pattern matching is not quite intelligence. Intelligence is typically described as something that requires abstraction, reasoning, self-awareness, learning. We, as in the world, since around when deep learning became popular https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=all&q=artificial%20intelligence,Machine%20learning&hl=en-GB https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=all&q=artifici... only now recently is AI catching up.

      I am not sure where you have seen this definition for intelligence. I don't think self awareness is required at all. Abstraction can or can not be, but it is not required. I think the most common definition is "ability to solve problems using skill or knowledge". In Google trends ML and AI seem to have been correlating quite well with each other overall indicating that both have always been used. Do you think for example that ants are intelligent? If so, why? Because ants commonly are considered intelligent.

  And people used to complain that ML is a buzzword, it's not really "learning" anything, and this is nothing more than mere image processing.
