Pop Art Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 I don't pretend to be an expert in this area at all, but it's kind of annoying seeing "AI" starting to get plastered everywhere when I feel like what we're actually seeing (at the commercial/everyday level at least) is machine learning, not legitimate artificial intelligence. Am I missing something? From my nontechnical perspective, it sort of feels like everyone just decided to jump the gun and call what we have now AI because it "feels" like it at the surface level even though it's not really true artificial intelligence. I understand the term "AI" has become more of an umbrella term as of late (under which machine learning sits), but to call what we're seeing with ChatGPT and the like AI...sits weird with me because I don't think it really is.

Illuminati Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 It's just a marketing term to inflate your product's value. Like how they added internet to everything back in the dot com bubble era Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, machine = non-human = artificial Learning = knowledge retention = intelligence So "artificial intelligence" and "machine learning" are inherently pretty close, conceptually. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jqnetto Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 Machine Learning is by definition a subset of AI, so I do not see the issue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATRL Moderator Juánny Posted February 28 ATRL Moderator Share Posted February 28 Machine Learning is a tool for AI. You can think of it as something falling under the family of tools and ideas that encompass Artificial Intelligence. It involves taking a set of data and extracting patterns from it, either to make predictions later, or clustering/manipulating/reducing dimenstionality the data to extract insights, etc. Using a computer or machine to learn about the world. AI is the process of leveraging computers, including tools from the ML toolkit, to produce behaviour mimicking human intelligence patterns. Products such as Chat-GPT are solidly AI. It is a product that uses both machine learning (neural network model, regression, etc.) and other tools, including complex instruction and alogirthms to guide the behaviour of the underlying infrastructure, to produce an interface that mimicks a human converser. AI. So no, AI we're seeing everywhere is AI for the most part. Machine Learning is only machine learning down to using tools such as K-means or KNN. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawnettakins Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 (edited) I mean yes and no. Might be an issue of semantics tbh. But AI is more and more becoming just a marketing catch-all term for the new hot thing. That said, many models out there being developed like by Google, OpenAI, etc are full, genuine AI models and not just machine learning.

favorite crime Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 artificial intelligence is a broad term that has many different meanings. it can refer to both machines that simply mimic intelligence and futuristic/sci-fi concepts of artificially created consciousnesses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes It was annoying at first, but AI is better for marketing than explaining what machine learning really is. Companies want the GP to think AI is magic.

Princess Aurora Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 (edited) My friend who works in this field, other than helping me with the making of some AI models behind some famous AI Covers I posted, told me that what we're seeing is the result of machine learning so yes. It's correct Edited February 28 by Princess Aurora Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CottageHore Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 Isn't that all AI really is is machine learning? I mean, essentially, human intelligence has a primary learning component. Sure, intelligence is somewhat dictated by genetics and how that relates to cognitive functioning, but how we develop our intelligence is through learning. I'd assume it's pretty similar in the case of machines. Machines possessing and cultivating (artificial/ non-human) intelligence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burninredhot Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 (edited) machine learning is a subset of artificial intelligence. they are not two different concepts Also chatgpt is generative AI (another subset of AI) not machine learning. The way chatgpt replies to anything we ask falls under generative AI. the concepts used to build chatgpt were machine learning tho.
