Im sooooo tired of everything being called AI. Words don’t mean anything anymore. Its just a word to get clicks.
Comment on Odours have a complex topography, and it’s been mapped by AI

“AI” is probably simple machine learning?
reads article
Yes, it is.

I mean they called bots in video game AI for decades now.

In that case it actually makes sense because the main goal is to make an artificial entity appear intelligent to the player. This is not the same as calling all ML algorithms/models AI.

These terms were coined by academics. These people feel that “learning” is part of appearing intelligent. They don’t get out much.

I mean it says Graph Neural Networks, dont know how more AI can it get

AI has been co-opted by all the GenAI people. The number of times I’ve heard things like “AI is the next big thing for X business” and they’re only talking about GenAI is way too high.

That is by any definition AI.

The term has been hijacked, at this point being pedantic about it is moot.

Just a few years ago, AI was a simple program that had hardcoded answers and inputs in if else conditional blocks and ML was ML. Now with ChatGPT, AI is no longer a simple if else program. The worst of all is that ML is no longer called ML.

Machine learning is a form of AI, much more sophisticated that if else loops that are also AI. What did you think AI was, lol?
Amir@lemmy.ml 6 months ago
AI is about making a system seem intelligent, by having it do human-like tasks. This is the type of machine learnig that is the opposite of that.

Nah, not in computer science terminology.

Unless you talk to game developers where a “follow the ball” “algorithm” for Pong classifies as AI, because it’s controlling the behaviour of a game-world agent that’s not the player. The term pretty much matches up with what game theorists (as in game theory, not computer games) call strategies.
