AI IS NOT IF ELSE STATEMENTS. AI learns and adapts to its surroundings by learning. It stored this learnt data into "weights" in accordance with its stated goal. This is what "intelligence" refers to.

Edit: I was wrong lmao. As the commentators below pointed out, "AI" in the context of computer science is a term that has been defined in the industry long before. Where I went wrong was in taking the definition of "intelligence" and slapping "artificial" before it. Therefore while the literal definition might be similar to mine, it is different in CS. Also, @blotz@lemmy.world even provided something called "Expert Systems", which are a subset of AI that use if-then statements. Soooo yeah... My point doesn't stand.

Machine learning isn't the only form of AI.

[-] UraniumBlazer@lemm.ee 4 points 8 months ago

Sure, but learning and training is still a component, no? If something cannot learn how to solve problems autonomously, how is it intelligent?

I've developed "AI" using prolog.

No machine learning, you're still solving problems using logical reasoning and deduction that's not intuitively obvious for humans.

An intelligent system is a system that autonomously gathers information accessible to it, learns how to use this information to achieve its terminal goal and uses this skill. Does your prolog "AI" fit this description? Does it "write" its own logic? If yes, then it is intelligent. If no, then it is no different than some random non intelligent computer program.

I mean, you can simply define something differently than the last 50 years of researchers in computer science. It's just not going to make a difference.
