    AI can only make inferences based on existing data. Statistically speaking the vast majority of people who have visited the Titanic wreck came back safely, so the AI will say True.

      Also the training dataset includes several articles from The Onion so it will probably actively encourage the user to leave their material possessions and become a fish person.

        I’ve described the most common AI in use today. What kind are you talking about?

          no you haven’t

          you’ve described the buzzword ai = neural network

          e.g. video game ai has existed far longer and has been in the public consciousness far longer and it’s mostly just a decision tree, or at best, an alpha-beta tree

            While I’m not downvoting you, you’re making a similar comment to “don’t you mean facial tissue?” when someone asks for a kleenex. Technically correct but everyone knows what is meant by the initial comment.

                I suggested you might have missed a potential joke, and you’re debating the definition of AI.

            you’re correct, ai is entire field of computer science, machine learning is a sub-category

            The AI craze just made people associate term incorrectly, but what can you do
