Completely agree. If its artificial (all software) and its in some way intelligent p, or appears that way, (a lot of software, or features thereof), then you could argue its artificial intelligence, based on just those two words (ignoring the definition technical people give AI). That’s why machine learning is usually more useful from a technical discussion viewpoint.

Yeah, using wongarsu’s example of chess: brute forcing chess was once a highlight if AI achievement and now its just a crude search algorithm.
