Thank you. I was starting to think the history revision was almost true, but your recollection is very much in sync with my own. Everything was machine learning

Thank you. I was starting to think the history revision was almost true, but your recollection is very much in sync with my own. Everything was machine learning, nobody talked about AI unless it was for research, now marketing has changed that, unfortunately.

> Everything was machine learning, nobody talked about AI unless it was for research Machine learning was AI. The specific wording was a branding choice, because "AI" was a deeply stigmatized brand. ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AI_winter https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AI_winter ) But there was not a conceptual division. There's a close analogue to how modern genetic researchers are happy to tell you that your genome is not informative as to your "race", but it is informative as to your "ancestry".
