3 types of artificial intelligence, but only 2 are valid

For all of the visions of robots taking over the world, stealing jobs and outpacing humans in every facet of existence, we haven't seen many cases of AI drastically changing industries or even our day-to-day lives just yet. For this reason, media and AI deniers alike question whether true broad-scale AI even exists. Some go as far as to conclude that it doesn't. The answer is a bit more nuanced than that. Current AI applications can be broken down into three loose categories: Transformative AI, DIY (Do It Yourself) AI, and Faux AI.
