    It absolutely is AI. A lot of stuff is AI.

    It’s just not that useful.

      The decision tree my company uses to deny customer claims is not AI despite the business constantly referring to it as such.

      There’s definitely a ton of “AI” that is nothing more than an If/Else statement.

        for many years AI referred to that type of technology. It is not infact AGI but AI historically in the technical field refers more towards decision trees, and classification/ linear regression models.

        That’s basically what video game AI is, and we’re happy enough to call it that

      There are significant differences between statistical models and AI.

      I work for an analytics department at a fortune 100 company. We have a very clear delineation between what constitutes a model and what constitutes an AI.
