What about computer characters in video games? They're usually controlled by a system that everyone calls AI, but there's almost never any machine learning involved. What about fitting a line to a curve, i.e. linear regression? Definitely ML, but most people don't call it AI.
- cubefox 2y agoI would say people call NPCs "AI" only for historical reasons. Typically handwritten algorithms are not called AI nowadays. I'm not sure, but I think statistical regression already specifies a simple model (e.g. a linear one), while the approach with neural networks doesn't make such strong assumptions about the model. I actually think linear regression isn't usually called ML in practice. Anyway, I meant something like neural networks.
- janalsncm 2y agoThe way it was explained to me, ML is a part of AI, but AI also contains things like planning and symbolic reasoning.
- cubefox 2y agoSymbolic systems are just called software nowadays. Nobody (?) would call WolframAlpha an AI.
