It's not even AI. The marketers co-opted ML driven tasks and named it AI.

I disagree. AI is different. We've never seen anything like it.

Machine learning, AI, and automation are all blurred lines. Pretending that isn't the case is naive.

Cool, laugh emoji but no argument. Here is the first link from Googling 'is Machine Learning AI?', from Microsoft.

I just don't want to spend all day arguing with you.

Lol, cool. But taking an 8 hour online course on coding for AI doesn't exactly make a person an expert.

Sorry, just because you don't like it doesn't mean it isn't true. I'm waiting to learn something about AI/ML from you.

He was trained through organic assimilation. Namely the brain organ. Which he ate to learn to fold (per the video).
