    No computer scientist will ever genuinely call basic algorithmic tasks “AI”. Stop saying things you literally do not know.

    Speak for yourself. Many of us fought that battle literally years ago and then accepted reality and moved on with our lives. Show me an actual computer scientist still hung up on this little bit of not-so-new-anymore language and I’ll show you a dying curmudgeon who has let the world pass them by. We frequently use AI to refer to these technologies that we have today and we’ve started to use more descriptive language such as post-singularity AI or Artificial General Intelligence (AGI).

      Hard agree. I don’t consider myself a “computer scientist”, but I do have a CS degree. The public use of AI is so far gone it’s just what it is now. I still wouldn’t consider path finding AI, but when you say an AI image creator, or AI chat bot it gets the point across well enough since we all know what is meant.
