I mean, if something as traditional as simple clustering is AI, then so is linear regression and Excel Sheets have been doing AI/ML for the past 2 decades.
At some point we just have to stop with the breathless hype. I'm sure labelling it as AI gets more clicks and exposure so I know exactly why they do it. Still, it's annoying.

- morkalork 2y agoYes! AI is any sort of machine intelligence and its been around for more than 2 decades, the 80s even had its own "AI winter" after all.
- YeGoblynQueenne 2y agoAt least until recently any introductory machine learning course would teach linear regression and clustering, the latter as an example of unsupervised learning.
