    welll general purpose AI is just a bad idea

    machine learning is a great tool for some tasks and needs to be custom designed for each specialised task

    in large part this is because as a trope AI characters in stories are just people and this is because they are written by writers who view them as characters. Data is a person because he is written as a person

      Machine learning is AI though. General purpose AI is a pipe dream, unless you're talking about foundation models being general purpose.

        yeah machine learing is AI but inteligence in the context of computer science refers to the ability to carry out complex tasks. Nothing less nothing more

        it can't think it can't feel that's the artificial part

          There are tons of AI models for carrying out complex tasks (assuming you have a physical interface for the model), and there is already a lot of research going into building foundation models specifically for reinforcement learning.
