A catch-all term for computers doing things traditionally human minds do.
While your statement is true, it made me wonder if it’s theoretically possible to do it with something else than a computer.
Let's define the simplest form of an AI: An if-then-else clause.. Would anything not alive capable of doing this task be considered a computer?
I guess a mechanical contraption could do it, but that would also make it a mechanical computer, right?
I think that in order for something to count as AI, it can't be just a pre-written script but it needs to be able to take in new information and apply it to its outputs. For example, instead of telling a chess bot every single possible game of chess, you just give it the rules of the game and let it figure it out.
Yeah computers don't have to be digital.
