Reply to comment by sabertoothedhedgehog in [D] Has ML become synonymous with AI? by Valachio

(Which is OK. Sebastian Raschka, for example, has this view that AI and ML are not concentric circles but merely overlapping. He thinks a cat vs. dog classifier is so narrow, it is not aiming for the larger vision of AI. Fair.)

I think marketers have really influenced the definitions. Calling a linear regression house price estimator "AI" seems like a stretch unless you're trying to get venture capitalists excited. But today, most business people probably will.

Is the Amazon product recommender system "AI"? Is it ML?

I agree.

I still resist though and do not say that "I have developed an AI that does xyz" but say that "I developed a predictive ML model that does xyz".
