Honestly they should go back to calling useful applications ML (that is what it is) since AI is getting such a bad rap.

machine learning is a type of AI. scifi movies just misused the term and now the startups are riding the hype trains. AGI =/= AI. there's lots of stuff to complain about with ai these days like stable diffusion image generation and LLMs, but the fact that they are AI is simply true.

I mean it's entirely an arbitrary distinction. AI, for a very long time before chatGPT, meant something like AGI. we didn't call classification models 'intelligent' because it didn't have any human-like characteristics. It's as silly as saying a regression model is AI. They aren't intelligent things.

I once had ideas about building a machine learning program to assist workflows in Emergency Departments, and its' training data would be entirely generated by the specific ER it's deployed in. Because of differences in populations, the data is not always readily transferable between departments.
