Reply to comment by Red-Portal in [D] Has ML become synonymous with AI? by Valachio

Your statement only makes sense if one's mental model is not a Venn diagram of concentric circles: AI > ML > Deep Learning.

(Which is OK. Sebastian Raschka, for example, has this view that AI and ML are not concentric circles but merely overlapping. He thinks a cat vs. dog classifier is so narrow, it is not aiming for the larger vision of AI. Fair.)

I think marketers have really influenced the definitions. Calling a linear regression house price estimator "AI" seems like a stretch unless you're trying to get venture capitalists excited. But today, most business people probably will.

Is the Amazon product recommender system "AI"? Is it ML?

I agree.

I still resist though and do not say that "I have developed an AI that does xyz" but say that "I developed a predictive ML model that does xyz".
