Kinda of a rant

From an earlier conversation:
Machine learning is when your "maps" program monitors the various roadways, and tells you which will be the best based on past trials.
Artificial intelligence is when your maps program figures out that you are a particularly bad driver, and advises you to take the train instead.
So a really good artificial intelligence program would scan other pictures of the same subject, and use those pictures to fix the mistakes that I made...

Marketing: Selling the “sizzle”, not the steak. If Outback posted a video of a raw sirloin steak on a butcher block, it wouldn’t get people leaping at an opportunity to buy it. Put it still sizzling on a plate, with steaming veggies and a baked potato, now you’ve got a winner. A.I. sounds so much sexier and more modern than ML.

Ednsb's point is a good one. Similar is the misuse for yarns/fabrics classification ... Synthetic and Man-Made. Rayon is Synthetic-Silk with the feel ["hand"] and look of real silk, while Polyester is unlike anything in nature and is a Man-Made fiber. Words have meaning... if words distorted, then meaning lost and sales skyrocket.
My favorite pattern matching or machine learning is Google's Deep Dreams. If indeed it is Ai then the intelligence has a mental problem. That problem is what I love so much about Deep Dreams.. even Deeper Deep Dreams [one of the more sick choices... Yea!!]

Please don’t minimize your desire for accuracy. Marketing speak distorts truth and confuses people. I appreciate your comments.

I hate "marketing" also. Same, and more reasons.
Well, I’m annoyed when people confuse marketing with either sales or advertising. Those are three discrete disciplines.

AI, anyone seen Terminator? Newer car I drove the other day essentially took the steering out of my hands. Had to make a serious effort to take control back.

AI software doesn't give the photographer what they think they want. No, sharping, exposure, focus improvement are all simple changes. Customers don't buy the tools for these obvious things. They buy because of the subtleties, the details. They come back because they discover something they imagine no on has ever noticed before, something they’ve fallen in love with. They’re not looking for software that tells them who they are. They already know what kind of photographer they are. They buy AI software because they want a glimpse of the photographer could be.

I'm a long-time computer guy around data and big data. It really irritates me when companies label their new functions as A.I. since it is really pattern matching or machine learning. Topaz and Skylum are the worst offenders in my eyes (and I own and use both) but I was really glad to see Pixelmator brought out a new resolution function which they labeled ML Resolution (machine learning). I know, I'm an old fart but I hate marketing spin.
My favorite is when software gets a new look and feel and it's called a new technology. Did Microsoft start than with Windows NT? Seems that better multitasking operating systems and networks predated NT by years, if not decades. Anything related to the internet is call "hi tech". I supposed it's called high because they use clouds now. A new algorithm or protocol in software is not new technology, but it works in branding.

I am a computer guy too, since 1965.
I have found it interesting that over the years people will ask me about the latest topics, www vs internet; what is the cloud ? ‘ etc. etc.
Now, the term AI is used by every fake news media outlet, publications, etc, ad nauseam.
Recently, I was asked, How did they make that commercial that puts Trump’s head on Hillary’s body and make it dance ?
I just smile and say, “ Oh that is just computer animation using the new artificial intelligence software.”
They get that satisfied look as if to say, “Oh, now I understand, and move on.”
If I suggested that they just GOOGLE it, they wouldn’t understand a thing they were reading.
Final thought, marketing is part truth, part fantasy, part deception, part wishful thinking, etc.
Always has been, always will be.
My advice is Get over it, there are more important things to worry about.
