SSDD47597y@demiko wrong. Sorry to be blunt but real AI learns. It changes its own programming to adapt.
So I can guarantee you that almost every product released in the last month that is "powered by AI" is just bollocks trying to attach themselves to a current buzzword. -
@demiko I'm a blunt person, I've already been told this, but that's wrong and if I ever find an AI like that I'll wrap the developers intestines around his/her neck, because there's enough shit in the development world already and that isn't how an AI should ever be written, even if you're stoned, drunk, and ready to commit suicide.

SSDD47597y@DucksCanCode the problem is it wouldn't be an AI in the first place. It would be a big IF statement.
The reason for getting angry would be with the marketing arseholes that branded it AI. -
@SSDD ok I'd shove all the heads in the marketing department up each others arse then I'd kill the dev idiotic enough to do that

@demiko AI in my mind needs storage, because it learns. I see a crapload of ifs as a program, because it doesn't change it's own process, it's always going to use the same checks unless the developer changes it. It's like writing a voice orientated AI just with loads of pseudo code like below
if (speech == 'foo')
Say('Bar');
It'll be useless unless you manage to implement every single use case -
DylanG7737yHeck , Microsoft is taking AI pretty seriously for the most part. They're making whole AI processor unit for future devices. But most of their AI runs through Azure. Which do they want? Though the only places I've seen it so far in Windows 10 is through traditional recommendation algorithms in Cortana, and the new Stories feature (the Movie Maker replacement). I hear that will change in the next couple years, with Google Microsoft, Facebook, Amazon, and Apple. 2018 is Gonna be a big one

@demiko The difference between AI and "normal" branching code is that AI uses weighted adjustments and feedback loops.

devios157057yOk we all know what a Turing machine is. Yes any program can be represented as a mass of "if"s. You're being pedantic and arguing a useless point. The OP's point is you would never actually write AI like that, and if you call something like that AI chances are you're a marketer or executive and not a developer who actually knows wtf they're talking about.

ILMostro2427y@demiko It takes a pedantic mind and approach to create something complex; a practical mind to keep it focused on a simplistic, seamless product.

Every new product these days has the tag line "powered by AI"
FUCK OFF
No it isn't.
A mass of "if" statements isn't AI!
