Calm down, Elon. Deep learning won't make AI generally intelligent

"AI is more artificial idiot than artificial intelligence"

AI is Artificial Intelligence.

Just because journalists insist on continuing to abuse the term does not mean that AI has lost its meaning.

Journalists need to learn to not spaff headlines with "AI" as soon as some new computer tech shows the end of its nose. Of course, "New Tech Might Help Sub-Process Which Could Result In Getting Closer To AI" does not sell as well as "New Tech Set To Bring Us AI Next Year".

And that is the whole problem with AI.
