AI is just a new term for software marketing.

Thanks! If I can make one person a day smile, I've succeeded.

Yeah, a lot of hype floating around. AI is artificial, but not truly intelligent yet. Some is mind-blowingly amazing though, LOL that's just a figure of speech, you know, only my mind's concept of reality was blown up.

"AI" is supposed to mean that the AI part of the program was created by the underlying software "programming" itself by being "trained" with thousands/millions of samples, often images, rather than by a human directly coding it. Often, the heavy lifting is done in the "cloud" on dozens of servers, your $50 app might just be an interface to the real AI program that lives in the cloud and is available for free (Or, for Adobe, "free" with your subscription).

A human generally has to "tell" the program if it has "guessed" correctly — That's what YOU are doing when you identify pics by clicking on "all the pictures with a stop sign" etc. when you log into something with an "I'm not a robot" "captcha". You are training AI image software, proving you are not a robot while you train THEIR robot!

A lot of the AI software is based on open-source "free" code, so it's not impossible that a $50 app (or even a $5 app) has real "AI", it's not all that difficult to do nowadays if you know what you are doing. I've seen programmers say they don't really know how it works, they just know how to "train" it for what they need.

I heard an AI expert say NO ONE knows exactly what the AI is doing under the hood, which is kinda scary, hope it's not planning the Matrix.

AI is a system of bracketing for the best reply to a query. All possible answers are in data lists to be pulled when the algorithms line up. Those that do not line up are removed from the path initiated by a specific query. It is similar to writing a language translation dictionary. The answer creates further algorithms forward. (It almost looks like a Pachinko game.)
