@[url=https://atomicpoet.org/users/atomicpoet]Chris Trottier[/url] Yeah, the term AI has been around since at least the 70s (possibly longer) and I've always been irritated by its lack of a precise definition. It doesn't [em]have[/em] to be a bad thing, but most things that advertise themselves as "AI" these days are garbage.
See also: my irritation with not being able to use the word cryptography because everyone now thinks it means cryptocurrency rather than cryptography.
