    I don’t like this take because intelligence isn’t defined as human and AI is not “artificial human”. Saying linear regression is not AI is the most pseudo intellectual thing ever at this point we get it you saw a guy on twitter say it but do you even know what it means and how it’s just that guys opinion?

      When I hear “Artificial Intelligence,” I picture a computer with sentience, something that thinks and perceives like an animal or human. But instead, the term is being thrown around to describe basic models like linear regression, which clearly don’t think for themselves. Even if it’s meant as a shorthand for all algorithms, calling every math operation “AI” cheapens the meaning and blurs the line between true intelligence and simple computation.

        Basically AI research is the study of the mathematics of knowledge learning and reasoning. Models aren’t just ‘linear regression’ and you could say linear regression is a beautifully simple way to find patterns in high dimensional space it’s just word choice. You can hate on the hype all you want but it isn’t going away because it was always here before the hype.

          Would you be annoyed if, when you asked someone “Where’s the nearest train station?” they answered “It’s on Earth!”?
