The internet is AI. I hope you understand what this means.

AI and the internet are one thing.

And the Luddites of our day are fighting shadows in the corners of their minds. Rather telling IYAM.

      A statistical model built on neural networks solving black box problems.

      I don’t hate AI but 99% of applications currently are just vanity, there are big energy problems with it, monopoly consolidation is getting exacerbated by it, identity theft is becoming easier than ever and then stolen training data and information clusters will be the next big issues.

      What I’m saying is, a lot of experts (those who survived from the older field of machine learning and its various applications like genetic algorithms and classifiers) are critical of AI, and most people should be. It’s a big opportunity but we could destroy our society with it if we don’t come up with ethical constraints codified in law.

        After looking up the Wikipedia definition I kind of disagree; my definition is more narrow but I also think it’s more akin to what we currently understand AI to be.

        That said, even with the very loose Wikipedia definition of AI I don’t know how the hell you conclude that the internet / the web is AI. Yes, specific parts of it are AI, but the Internet in my understanding does not fit the definition.
