r/MachineLearning - [D] Why We Need to Stop Redefining 'AI'

We hear, read and use the term AI until we have some understanding of what it means. Yeah, I think this is part of the underlying problem: people using terms without actually knowing what they (are supposed to) mean. Perhaps one day people such as "tech journalists" will learn that "machine learning" and "artificial intelligence" are distinct concepts... but clearly that won't happen spontaneously (or, at least, it won't happen by "using the term AI until we have an understanding of what it means", as you suggest). Repeated incorrect use of a term doesn't magically make you understand what it means... it just makes people around you aware of how clueless you are regarding the subject at hand. Also, protip: humans are not neural networks.
