The problem with the unwashed is they hardly posses something past the intelligence of an infant human and are completely illiterate with respect to computers. Artificial intelligence for them is just as tangible as the healing power of homeopathic herbal remedies. It's all marketing and they will buy it... I've noticed that recently every fucking phone is "AI" enabled... jeezus f***in christ.
Yes, there is a big divergence between reality and hype within the AI/ML space.
