Sorry random internet person let me forward your opinion to my old Computer Science professor and have them update it.
AI as a field goes back to the 50s, long before any concept of machine learning, or what 'intelligence' was possible for a computer to achieve.
Please do and report back. There's a significant difference between following manually coded instructions and 'intelligence'.
Nope, thermostat (yes, that thing that has one "if temperature < XX, turn on heater) is literally considered an intelligent agent, as defined by the actual field of Artificial Intelligence, it's one of the first examples taught on the most basic of courses.
You should really go do your homework about absolute basics of AI field before insulting random people that at least have a semblance of knowledge about the field, other than "AI hype, AI cool".
People like you are insulting the whole field of Artificial Inteligence, so please stop spreading bullshit about it before you get good (or at the very least, don't be a dick about it, when people try to educate you). You probably had no idea the field even exists two years ago.
MFW was using it ten years ago.
I gotta ask, would you consider humans intelligent?
I mean the entire scientific method depends on the deterministic nature of the universe, arguably making everything ever to follow manually coded instructions.
Does our brain follow manually coded instructions?
Yeah
