OK , using the term AI always seems to imply to the uninformed that this is real intelligence , as in how we think, but that is just BS, hype etc . AI is a term meaning a program that can learn i.e. update it's database in a logical manner (that mimics logic in how we learn) . AI ideas (and name) come from research done in the 60's when computers were really slow and data base speeds were really slow. And there the ideas and research stalled . I took classes in the late 80's on it and it was interesting but waiting for breakthroughs . In mid 2000 the entry of SD drives instead of HD drives gave most databases a 100 plus speed improvement and thus the idea of computer learning was brought back from the dead, also some open source helped of plug and play learning programs . And thus we have the hype of AI on our world and strange fears of something that thinks like us , still a NOT there reality .
I really wish the FP would write about this history and evolution but it seems everything written is about the idea that we are creating a human mind of sorts and that just buys into the Hype and sales of programs and systems with the term. 10 years ago the hype was clouds and AI and today it's mostly AI and big AI clouds , just a re banding of hype. Computers and computer systems are all about sales so it is what it is ! I lived in and worked in the world of IT for around 45 years and have heard it all :)
