Cardiac events from Apple Watches is not “AI” though

No, it would have been called what it is both then and now; an asynchronous message emitted by a device having sensors capable of detecting when to do so.

isn’t that how we got here though? Everyone in silicon valley was so busy making sure they were open minded, steelmanning, and not treating politics like a sport that no one in the silicon valley halls of power pointed out that the emperor has no clothes and now we have a (sorry woke police) shrieking retard president leading us through the singularity.
No? Maybe you were busy being open minded and etc. But uh rest of Silicon Valley was pretty openly rooting for Trump to win 2024. The emperor having no clothes is actually really useful when you can interact with the emperor. You want them then to be mallable like Tim Cook giving Trump a golden statue so they're immune to tariffs that their competitors have to pay.
I'm sure people like David Ellison made off like a bandit, being able to push mergers (or at least, try to push mergeers) that would have been stopped early under any other administration. I don't think Apple was doing any blatantly bold moves like that, though.
Workplace metrics and surveillance... What could possibly go wrong? That being said, more than one (female at that) doctor has told me in confidence and based upon their observations during residencies, etc. that if I'm ever admitted, be very careful how I modulate my interactions with nurses. They're not all Florence Nightingale and Mother Theresa and there exist those who will @#$% you up on various pretexts or are…

> that might appear to be incentive to improve quality Their goal isn't to provide high quality care. Their goal is to increase profits. It's not hard to imagine how improved quality would lead them to spend more money. (faster diagnoses of serious illnesses and recommending expensive care)

It’s machine learning, which people routinely called AI not so long ago.

I never heard people calling machine learning "AI" until large language models made it trivial to market it as such. Like, I remember back when Netflix, for instance, was going around advertising how machine learning (not AI) powers their recommendations.
You should listen better. The University of Edinburgh had an entire Department of Artificial Intelligence when I was an undergrad there in the 1990s, and one of the things it researched was machine learning.

It's machine learning, which has overlap with AI but is not completely equivalent.
The “overlap” is that all machine learning is AI, but not all AI is machine learning.
For example, if you pick them manually, decision trees can be AI but not ML. Video game character behavior is a trivial example.
Eliza for example is also not ML, but could be called AI.
Likewise, there is ML that is not AI. Such is debatable, because you could always argue that using machine-learning on anything results in intelligence. The way I see it, things like image enhancement or voice replacement are not artificial intelligence at all. I probably could not define a hard line where it becomes artificial intelligence though.

We call things AI until they start working. See also: robots (your washing machine is a robot, but it works so you don’t think of it that way).

A paint conveyer belt is not a robot. A sprinkler system is not a robot. A CnC machine might be a robot. A conveyer belt that sorts items might be a robot. A roomba is a robot. And all of these function just fine.
