Then you should have said that in the beginning and there'd be no argument. Only then this have nothing to do with all these bullshit companies, because what they are doing is snake oil, not "AI".

I'm with you on the current use of machine learning being snake oil but I never said anything about ML. I'm not sure how my first post was unclear. You just made a lot of assumptions.

According to Google I am using the term correctly.

AI is the broader concept of enabling a machine or system to sense, reason, act, or adapt like a human

ML is an application of AI that allows machines to extract knowledge from data and learn from it autonomously

Edit: I was apparently too tired to see that you wrote machine learning in your initial reply

Edit 2: I feel like this discussion has gone way off topic and I am done with it. The OP claimed that we will not see real self-driving cars within our lifetime and I disagree with that
