I think it's fine to keep the name, we just have to realise it's like magic. real magic can't be done. magic that can be done is just tricks. AI that works is just tricks.

I didn't realize that magic was the goal. I'm just trying to process unstructured data. Who's here looking for magic?

I think the "magic" that we've found a common toolset of methods - embeddings and layers of neural networks - that seem to reveal useful patterns and relationships from a vast array of corpus of unstructured analog sensors (pictures, video, point clouds) and symbolic (text, music) and that we can combine these across modalities like CLIP.

It turns out we didn't need a specialist technique for each domain, there was a reliable method to architect a model that can learn itself, and we could already use the datasets we had, they didn't need to be generated in surveys or experiments. This might seem like magic to an AI researcher working in the 1990's.

Many humans like to think that their own intelligence is "magic" that cannot be reduced to physics.

		Just play word games and have magic be a branch of physics.

did you miss the word "like"? have you come across the concept of an analogy yet?
