    Im sooooo tired of everything being called AI. Words don’t mean anything anymore. Its just a word to get clicks.

      I mean they called bots in video game AI for decades now.

        In that case it actually makes sense because the main goal is to make an artificial entity appear intelligent to the player. This is not the same as calling all ML algorithms/models AI.

          These terms were coined by academics. These people feel that “learning” is part of appearing intelligent. They don’t get out much.

            How would you define intelligence without including learning?

            I think you can certainly have intelligence without acadamia, but not without learning.

            Which, btw, AI doesn’t always involve.
