  It’s not. Bubble sort is a purely deterministic algorithm with no learning or intelligence involved.

    Many chess engines run on deterministic algos as well

      Bubble sort is just a basic set of steps for sorting numbers - it doesn’t make choices or adapt. A chess engine, on the other hand, looks at different possible moves, evaluates which one is best, and adjusts based on the opponent’s play. It actively searches through options and makes decisions, while bubble sort just follows the same repetitive process no matter what. That’s a huge difference.

        Your argument can be reduced to saying that if the algorithm is comprised of many steps, it is AI, and if not, it isn’t.

        A chess engine decides nothing. It understands nothing. It’s just an algorithm.
