A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Not just marketing, that's the term it's always been called. Plug a bunch of parameters into a non-deterministic model and you've got an AI, at least by what seems to be the common definition of the term.
"AI" used to mean "whatever we don't fully understand yet". A lot of processes have walked the path from "fantasy" to "AI" to "algorithm". Doesn't need to be non-deterministic, the original tic-tac-toe playing software was "AI" at the time.
Until we get some AGI, the term "AI" will remain a moving technological target, and a static marketing target.
