When is AI really AI?
For instance the Google Pixel 6 had a photo editing/magic eraser/magic editor as part of the photos app allowing you to remove a person who strayed into your shot. That was just part of the app. Now all of a sudden on the Pixel 7 & 8 it's AI?!
Another comment from Peter Waddell of Big Motoring World that they were going to use AI to get new customers. So is trawling your database of past and present customers really AI?

Certainly machine learning has been around for decades, being able to run a process, look at the outcome, change the process, run it again - until you hit optimum. You can call this AI if you like!
Generative AI is whats the rage, as in ChatGPT, in that it can take very simple commands and return something human looking and very much on point from what required such a minimal input that was the game changer.

But even ChatGPT produces very a very robotic output language, is easily identifiable as ChatGPT - almost similar to someone without full command of the English language.Generative AI is whats the rage, as in ChatGPT, in that it can take very simple commands and return something human looking and very much on point from what required such a minimal input that was the game changer.
I think the 'magic' many feel with the current 'black box' LLM wave is that we can't 100% understand how the output was generated.. Basically any software on this laptop i type on could be seen as a kind of AI if you stretch the definition enough, but it's all very mechanically robotic. The randomness and unpredictably of LLm is what moves it into the uncanny vally and more resembling the kinds of ndependent entity we think of from sci fi.

Look at iPhone 1 vs now, the differences are extreme.
The point of that is you can write one question, using a human interface instead of programming language, and it answers like a human would i.e. talking through the issue, citing sources, producing reports, and what further reading there is
This is a whole different level to programmers writing code to interface with the internet to draw down information - simplified so that even the most tech illiterate person can use it
