    There’s nothing intelligent about it. It’s no smarter than a chatbot or a phone’s autocorrect. It’s a buzzword applied to it by tech bros that want to make a bunch of money off it

      Indeed. That’s why it’s called artificial intelligence.

      Anything that attempts to mimic intelligence is AI.

      The field was established in the 50s.

      Your definition of it is wrong I’m afraid.

        The only people that call it that are people who don’t get what AI actually is or don’t want to know because they think it’s the future. There is exactly nothing intelligent about it. Stop spreading tech bro bullshit, call it machine learning bc that’s what it actually is. Or are you really drinking the ML kool-aid hard enough that this is your hill to die on? It’s not even as intelligent as a parrot that’s learned to recognize colors and materials, it’s literally just a souped up cleverbot

          Literally the definition my friend. You just don’t know what the term is refering to.

          Artificial intelligence (AI) is the intelligence of machines or software, as opposed to the intelligence of human beings or animals. AI applications include advanced web search engines (e.g., Google Search), recommendation systems (used by YouTube, Amazon, and Netflix), understanding human speech (such as Siri and Alexa), self-driving cars (e.g., Waymo), generative or creative tools (ChatGPT and AI art), and competing at the highest level in strategic games (such as chess and Go).[1]

          Artificial intelligence was founded as an academic discipline in 1956.[2] The field went through multiple cycles of optimism[3][4] followed by disappointment and loss of funding,[5][6] but after 2012, when deep learning surpassed all previous AI techniques,[7] there was a vast increase in funding and interest.

          The various sub-fields of AI research are centered around particular goals and the use of particular tools. The traditional goals of AI research include reasoning, knowledge representation, planning, learning, natural language processing, perception, and support for robotics.[a] General intelligence (the ability to solve an arbitrary problem) is among the field’s long-term goals.[8] To solve these problems, AI researchers have adapted and integrated a wide range of problem-solving techniques, including search and mathematical optimization, formal logic, artificial neural networks, and methods based on statistics, probability, and economics.[b] AI also draws upon psychology, linguistics, philosophy, neuroscience and many other fields.[9]

            I know exactly what AI is referring to. It’s referring to a process that has no intelligence behind it. There is no “field of AI” it’s a blatant misnomer, just like when they came up with “hoverboards” that still had wheels. Stop being a tech bro before you embarrass yourself and brag about your bored apes or some shit
