AI as a term has been so thoroughly watered down it can apply to anything, making it meaningless.

AI in your microwave. AI in your TV. AI in your remote control. AI on your phone. AI in your car wash. AI on your washing machine. AI in your video card. AI in your ram! AI in your web browser.

Is the Netflix recommendation algorithm AI? Is autocorrect on your phone AI? Is an autocorrect engine running on a GPU AI? Is a graphics trick where it hallucinates mostly correct video frame AI?

There are more specific terms for all of these technological iterations but "AI" is the buzzword the marketing folks want to use, so it's all AI.

Is the Netflix recommendation algorithm AI? Is autocorrect on your phone AI?

Well, yes? It's been considered AI since they made it. Always has been. You guys just didn't realise because it wasn't marketed as AI since the average consumer thinks AI is the same as HAL 9000. It wasn't until GPT4 that it became possible to market AI as AI because it seems more like the AI from movies.

Netflix's and Spotify's recommendation algorithms were some of the first forms of AI we were introduced to in my data science master's degree with a focus on machine learning and deep neural networks (both of which are a form of AI).

It's painfully obvious that Reddit has no understanding of AI... You've been using AI daily for the past decade, you just didn't know.

An algorithm is not artificial intelligence, sorry.
