asgs112751yOne practical reason is marketing
Who would like to know that some machine is (still) learning when you can advertise it as being intelligent enough already?! -
Funny thing is that in computer games, the computer controlled agents were often called AI. Even though it never was done with ML.

So true, but even worse: they don't just claim the machine is intelligent enough when it isn't, they stop learning and improving and instead push another product to market that isn't ready and mature, just let the masses become our beta testers -
@violet-isle sounds like you're confusing AI with artifical general intelligence (AGI)

@electrineer i was just using that as an example. theres no way things being marketed as ai are intelligent, literally individual animal neurons are entire levels of neural networks in a way, each with biases and weights and such, but we dont even label half of animals as intelligent. im not saying conciousness is a requirement, im saying intelligence is, and a neural network that has a database of images and matches pixels together based on image processing that a human programmed isnt intelligent, in my opinion, same for a neural net drawing from shakespeare and using the modt likely combinations of characters to answer a question isnt intelligent. theres a pretty big difference, i think

@violet-isle it's the part where it responds to the environment/prompt in a way that matches or exceeds how an intelligent being could respond.

Grumm18221yThis is the evolution too. Before forklifts, people did it manually (I guess...)
Before robots, people did it manually. Every invention or tool was made so that humans can be more efficient and faster.
All the machine learning and AI is just the next step in this trajectory of technological evolution.
Is machine learning not a concept we use any more, everything is called AI?
I did not get the memo about this.
