Odours have a complex topography, and it’s been mapped by AI
“AI” is probably simple machine learning?
reads article
Yes, it is.
Machine learning is a form of AI, much more sophisticated than if else loops that are also AI, in fact. What did you think AI was, lol?
Im sooooo tired of everything being called AI. Words don’t mean anything anymore. Its just a word to get clicks.
I mean they called bots in video game AI for decades now.
In that case it actually makes sense because the main goal is to make an artificial entity appear intelligent to the player. This is not the same as calling all ML algorithms/models AI.
These terms were coined by academics. These people feel that “learning” is part of appearing intelligent. They don’t get out much.
How would you define intelligence without including learning?
I think you can certainly have intelligence without acadamia, but not without learning.
Which, btw, AI doesn’t always involve.

I mean it says Graph Neural Networks, dont know how more AI can it get
AI has been co-opted by all the GenAI people. The number of times I’ve heard things like “AI is the next big thing for X business” and they’re only talking about GenAI is way too high.
The term has been hijacked, at this point being pedantic about it is moot.
Just a few years ago, AI was a simple program that had hardcoded answers and inputs in if else conditional blocks and ML was ML. After ChatGPT got popular, AI is no longer a simple if else program. The worst of all is that ML is no longer called ML.
