| We call things AI until they start working. See also: robots (your washing machine is a robot, but it works so you don’t think of it that way). |

| ▲ | Dylan16807 5 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | Calling things "robots" is more about the amount of movement. Spinning in place like a washing machine sprayer isn't enough to qualify. A paint conveyer belt is not a robot. A sprinkler system is not a robot. A CnC machine might be a robot. A conveyer belt that sorts items might be a robot. A roomba is a robot. And all of these function just fine. | |

| When I was studying ML back in 2017 people were still calling things like image classifiers "AI". |
