Apple makes great stuff (typing this on a Mac), but I really don't get the adoration / mystic that surrounds them.

Those features have been on Android forever, but people don't call it "AI".

Right, which begs the question "What is AI?"

In this context, "AI" means "using techniques that come from the field of AI research", such as convolutional neural networks and whatnot.
