AI should be called machine learning. much better. If i had my way from here on it would be called “fancy curve fitting” from here on.

Technically speaking AI is any effort on the part of machines to mimic living things. So computer vision for instance. This is distinct from ML and Deep Learning which use historical statistical data to train on and then forecast or simulate.

“machines mimicking living things” does not mean exclusively AI. Many scientific fields are trying to mimic living things.
AI is a very hazy concept imho as it’s difficult to even define when a system is intelligent - or when a human is.

That’s not what I said.
What I typed there is not my opinion.
This the technical, industry distinction between AI and things like ML and Neural networks.
“Mimicking living things” is obviously exclusive to AI. It is exclusive to AI as compared to ML, for instance.

There is no technical, industry specification for what AI is. It’s solely and completely a marketing term. The best thing I’ve heard is that you know it’s ML if the file extension is cpp or py, and you know it’s AI if the extension is pdf or ppt.
I don’t see how “AI” is mimicking living things while neural networks are, just because neural networks are based on neurons, the living things in your head.
