    Sounds like you’re mixing up AI with AGI and have no idea of what you’re talking about, like 99% of the people on the internet who suddenly act like they’re data science experts. This article is just taking advantage of the fact that people like you don’t know what “AI” means to get clicks by misdirecting you with improperly worded claims. “True AI” doesn’t mean anything.

    Also the term “AI” to describe complex algorithms existed long before the technology was ever in the capitalist market. You literally just completely made that part up. One of the guys that coined it (John McCarthy) was one of the most important computer scientists of all time, who was also a cognitive scientist, he’s the same guy who invented garbage collection and Lisp. One of the other guys to coin the term was Claude Shannon, who is widely considered the father of information theory and laid the foundation for the Information Age. The other people to participate in coining the term include the person who made the first assembler & designed the first mass-produced computer, and the guy who proposed the theory of bounded rationality. The guys who coined AI and founded/established the field were pretty much Turing’s successors, not people looking to “sell you shit”.
