  Arguably you are the one misusing the term. Even painfully mundane tasks like the A* pathfinding algorithm fall under the umbrella of artificial intelligence. It’s a big, big (like, stupidly big) field.

  You are right that it’s not AGI, but very few people (outside of marketing) claim that it is.

    I’m going to argue quite strongly that my general, all purpose understanding of the words ‘artificial’ and ‘intelligence’ constitute the ‘correct’ definition for the term, and I don’t really care how ‘ai’ is defined ‘in industry’. It’s not intelligent, therefore it’s not artificial intelligence. You can redefine ‘intelligent’ in this context to mean whatever you like, but unless the general definition of the word changes then it doesn’t mean jack about shit.

      So what is intelligence in your general, all-purpose understanding?

      Are newborns intelligent? How about dogs? Ants?

      You may argue that current AI is still behind an average human adult and therefore not intelligent, but academia is a bit more nuanced.

  It is. The AI Effect just means the goalposts for what people think of as “proper” AI are constantly moving.

    This might be the case ‘in the industry’, but I would argue quite strongly that it represents a gross misuse of the word ‘intelligence’. Like a fun new definition of the word, that doesn’t mean anything close to what it usually means.

      AI was a computer science term before any industry adopted it.

        The colloquial use of “AI” is basically the Hollywood concept of a conscious computer. Nobody knows about AI as it’s used in computer science industry. Nor does it matter in regular discourse. In this sense it’s not AI. It’s a disservice to lead the on laypeople to believe it’s something it’s not.

  Yes, no one seems to raise this anymore. AI to me has always been something akin to computer sentience.

  Things like ‘self healing’ systems are being badeged as AI when they’re little more than an application load balancer.
