And since I'm being snarky anyway, there's two subdivisions to AI:
supervised learning => remember this
unsupervised learning => approximate this
This doesn't make any sense at all.
Both are "remembering" something under some constraint, which forces generalisation.
Supervised learning just "knows" what it is "remembering". Unsupervised learning is just trying to group data into patterns.
Both approaches don't put much emphasis on intelligence
Seems like most "intelligence" relies a lot on pattern recognition.
And both approaches can usually be implemented more efficiently without AI, if you know what you are doing.
The evidence is that you are wrong on this for a number of pretty important problems. I don't know much about optical flow, but in the image and text spaces you can't approach the accuracy of neural network approaches with hand crafted features.
