The degree to which people revere AI, as if AI were somehow teach us something we didn't feed it first, is becoming bizarre. The name "Artificial Intelligence" is incorrect to the point of being a farce. Nobody knows what intelligence is (look up "the hard problem" with the quotes), so consequently we have no definition for it. Is a gnat "intelligent"? How about a bird that builds a nest that you couldn't? What we call "AI" would actually more accurately be called "learning programs". Such programs are no more or less a human convenience than computers were 50 years ago.
