Most AI in reality:

  switch(i) {
  case x:
    break;
  case y:
    break;
  default:
  }

I was going to make a joke about mimicking that behaviour using a perceptron with certain weights but then I realized there's no side effect so they can all be zero. Perfect.

I think it's fair to say the problem space AI operates in is one of case statements and not general rationalization. The magic of "AI" is in working with subjective data to identify the best case to use.

I think I've seen this AI on GitHub's status page!

AI/ML is so abused these days, we stopped using them entirely while pitching our Startup even though we wrote two home-grown algorithms already. It has become an addendum, "We also wrote our own Machine Learning Algorithm and we train them against 1-million acres of high resolution satellite data."

It’s kind of absurd that a number of the algorithms being used are remarkably simple and are being compared to sentient consciousness by people with minimal academic background and datasets that don’t contain the value for the proposed solution.

weird, no one is complaining about your statement, that AI is not sentient!
