It took Google and the usual suspects years and years, and lots and lots of smart people, and lots and lots of money, to build AI.
So when I for example see here on HN, someone post "I built xyzAI or abcAI" I wonder.... did ya'll suddenly grow a sam altman second brain, or do you mean you use an AI API, or are you perhaps.... just using IF statements like the rest of us and there's not much more intelligence about it than usual.
I'm curious to hear people define AI, because at the moment my prediction is that the acronym will join the likes of blockchain, web3, VR, NFT and so on. All hype and either no one uses it, or it just ends up being for scams.
