Yeah, I hate the way they stole the term AI. As an old AI researcher, it's really frustrating the way that they successfully took these two huge fields (AI and ML) and narrowed them down to a single model, which is a very poor model of general intelligence.
PS. I think it is a very good model of certain human behaviors - that of BS'ing. Humans also pattern-match to spin stories that sound good and are meaningless, but to claim that's a model of "intelligence" is insane. (As a teacher, it's explicitly what we are trying to get our students NOT to do.)
