This might be unpopular. There is no such thing as AI, there's only machine learning. Can intelligence even be artificial? So much misuse of this term.

#2There is no such thing as AI, there's only machine learning
That's a pretty bold assertion given that the field of AI has a history[1][2][3] stretching back 60 some odd years. What's your basis for making the claim that there is "no such thing as AI"? And for that matter, why would you make a bright-line distinction between "machine learning" and AI in the first place? Most people consider ML a subset of the broader AI rubric, meaning ML is AI.

Intelligence created by the man (or a group of) is not artificial intelligence, is human intelligence in a canvas. It might be books, paintings or code.

You could create a bot to answer this kind of question. /s

#7It's the same thing as saying "reverse racism". Intelligence is all the same, irrelevant of where it comes from or who has it.
It's just another example of humans elevating themselves above the, so far, non-sentient, intelligences in the world.
Yeah currently nothing we have encountered is as intelligence as us, so I'd say yeah we haven't created anything that mimics human level intelligence or sentience yet, so yeah everything thus far has been an artificial attempt at some aspect of human intelligence, but eventually we will create something intelligent, and it won't be "artificial" or mimicking intelligence, but it will be an independent source of sentience and intelligence.

#9Artificial as opposed to natural, doesn't mean it would not be as real as ours.
