It unequivocally is AI. It's just not LLM-powered.

The rising LLM = AI equivalency is unfortunate.

It's machine learning, which has overlap with AI but is not completely equivalent.

The “overlap” is that all machine learning is AI, but not all AI is machine learning.

> but not all AI is machine learning

I will instead pick at this latter part of your claim. What is an example of something that is AI but that is not ML..?

"All machine learning" is not AI, as k-means clustering and linear regression, amongst others, are very much ML without qualifying as AI algorithms.

As it is taught literally every single AI/machine learning course on the world, machine learning is very much part of AI completely since inception.

I don’t completely understand why it is this important for you to argue against this completely defined fact.

It is correct to argue about misleading terminology. "AI" contains the word "intelligence", and for instance logistic regression algorithm is not intelligent, while it is clearly ML, since machine learns something. As Machine learning is broader category, it should include Artificial Intelligence, not vice versa.

Also, 'every single course' is perhaps an overstatement - a course that I co-authored tries to get it right from the first principles.

It wasn't misleading for 70 years... How did it become misleading?

The machine is learning something so that it can produce outputs based on its learned knowledge. At a high level that seems to be very clearly AI. What am I missing here? You’re probably right, I’m asking genuinely.

There are both ML that is not AI, and AI that is not ML.

For example, if you pick them manually, decision trees can be AI but not ML. Video game character behavior is a trivial example.

Eliza for example is also not ML, but could be called AI.

Likewise, there is ML that is not AI. Such is debatable, because you could always argue that using machine-learning on anything results in intelligence. The way I see it, things like image enhancement or voice replacement are not artificial intelligence at all. I probably could not define a hard line where it becomes artificial intelligence though.

At this point AI is a marketing term not an actual category
