It was never AI as people are using it today. Back in 2014 2015 2016 or whatever it was just facial recognition. In fact there's nothing smart about it. It detects the face and then you put a name to the face. It does nothing else.
- ben_w 2y agoI'm old enough to remember when the ability for machines to recognise faces was in the same category as flying cars: tech demos in the news, but you couldn't use them in any practical sense.
- edanm 2y agoA constant theme in AI is that as soon as something is achieved, it becomes "no longer AI", just tech. That's kind of my point. Nobody cares what you call it or how it works, they care about the actual value they get out of the feature. Also, back in 2014, it wasn't "just" facial recognition. It was the dawn of the new age of Deep Learning, bringing capabilities that had never existed before.
