    The word AI has at least 3 different meanings. People who understand the subject usually just mean machine learning. But there is also AI we see in movies (which is usually a sentient computer) and AI in games (which is just programmed NPCs). I think most people confuse the stuff they see in movies with machine learning.

      I think marketing execs are COUNTING on that misinterpretation to make the product seem like more than it is.

        That’s possible. It’s still a useful technology that already has interesting uses today. But I wish people understood technology better, so that they could make better decisions.
