What "AI"? There isn't any.

Humans have yet to create anything that can be called 'artificial intelligence'. Today, we have more like Artificial Idiocy. It's all about the programmers. Blame them. Blame the horrifically poor state of programming tools whereby memory management and security are guaranteed to fail. Blame the hypeHypeHYPE! that is detonated in our faces by marketing morons (vs mavens) whenever someone wants to sell us something inadequate and lame.

These systems are called 'Expert Systems' whereby computers scan for triggers as input, then scan through databases for relevant, associated output. That's it. Adding in the ability to take new input and associate it with new output, 'machine learning' is the latest addition we're working on for ES. It's messy with messy results. But the blame still goes to the programmers who, as I pointed out, have lousy programming tools.
